History

Mountain States Consulting (MSC) began as a technology consulting firm in 1986.[1] During the summer of 1994 the company was confronted by the data management problems of a local government laboratory. After sorting through several options MSC decided to tackle the problem directly and create a custom data management solution, installing it in April 1995.[2] That LIMS went on to become MSC-LIMS.[1]

Technology and products

MSC-LIMS

MSC-LIMS is a GALP-compliant laboratory information management system (LIMS) "designed for small to mid-sized labs."[3]

Features

The following feature list(s) is/are derived solely from public, freely-available online information the vendor provides. A lack of a "Y" does not necessarily mean that the product doesn't have that feature. The lack of a "Y" could mean:
  • the vendor chose to not put relevant feature information online despite its existence in the product.
  • the vendor chooses to make the feature information available only to those who create an account or call/e-mail.
  • the feature information exists online to the public, but a URL could not be found to cite the existence of the feature.
  • the feature does not exist for the product.
A vendor's product may receive more confirmed features with the addition of more public information to the vendor's site and/or by providing a URL to a page or document that can act as a citation for the existence of the feature. Prospective buyers are highly recommended to contact the vendor directly to verify features as this list isn't authoritative, and product upgrades and changes happen rapidly in some cases.
