Open-LIMS is a free extensible open-source project management suite designed to be organism- and structure-independent. Its design is based upon a workflow that encompasses pre-experimental and experimental processes. Post-experimental procedures such as data analysis can be added through software extensions. [2]

Product history

Open-LIMS appears to be the brainchild of Roman Konertz, a graduate student with the "Dictyostelium discoideum Functional Analysis" project at the University of Cologne.[3][4] A SourceForge project was started for Open-LIMS on November 24, 2010, followed by the first public release of the software about a month later.[1] The release was classified as an unstable alpha "for evaluation and testing purpose only."[5]

Until 2014, no stable production-ready version of the software had been released, with unstable test releases being released from 2011 to 2012. A stable version 0.4.0.0 was finally released on January 20, 2014.[6]

Features

The features of Open-LIMS are not yet clear. However, Konertz claims the features of Open-LIMS are closely tied to the needs of biological laboratories working in functional genomics, especially those in microarray and microscopy projects.[4]

Hardware/software requirements
