History

History of Labmatica

The Labmatica LIMS has its origins in the FreeLIMS product originally offered by Laboptimizer Ltd.^[1]^[2]^[3] FreeLIMS started out in 2006 as an open-source project by Thomas Maersch, but after seeing the potential of the product he created Laboptimizer to develop and market a commercial version of the product called Labmatica LIMS. At some point between 2009 and 2011 Maersch turned over all rights to the commercial product to the company LIMS at work GmbH.^[4]

Labmatica LIMS is a laboratory information management system (LIMS) available under both a GNU General Public License (GPL) and a commercial license.^[5] LIMS at work claims to be working on version 2.0 of Labmatica.

It's not clear if development of the open source version is still occurring as the last update to FreeLIMS was on January 13, 2009.^[6]

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.
