BTLIMS Technologies is a software company that develops and distributes the laboratory information management system software BTLIMS.
History
Initial development of BTLIMS began in 2002, with the first version of the software released in 2006, strongly focusing on environmental laboratories.[1]
Technology and products
BTLIMS, ICM, LDM, and SDMS
BTLIMS is a modular, desktop-based laboratory information management system (LIMS) "that can automate workflow, simplify processes, and improve productivity."[2]
ICM (Inventory Control Manager) is inventory management software for laboratories, allowing users to "manage chemicals and supplies for the whole life cycle in the laboratory."[3]
LDM (Lab Data Master) is described as a web-based, "lean, yet fully functional LIMS" that "offers the tools of a complete LIMS but with a small footprint and affordable pricing," designed "for smaller labs that only need certain functions and don’t have the server space for an executive level LIMS."[4]
SDMS (not to be confused with a scientific data management system) is described as a "sample data management system" that can inteface with a LIMS (or act alone), designed "to dynamically create raw data entry templates and report templates while keeping compliance with ISO 17025 and maintaining traceability throughout all directions of the processes."[5]
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.
