JuliaBase is a free open-source laboratory informatics application designed to be "a database solution for samples, their processing and their characterization."[3] The software is coded in Python and built on top of the Django web framework.
Product history
JuliaBase is based on the proprietary Chantal software created by Torsten Bronger for one of the research institutes housed in Forschungszentrum Jülich. Chantal was first introduced in 2008 by Bronger, with developer Marvin Goblet being brought on in 2009 to assist. Additional institutes within Jülich adopted Chantal in 2013 and 2014, lending credence to its continued usefulness. With the blessing of Jülich, Bronger separated the core code from the institute-specific code and released it as open-source software JuliaBase.[2] The initial 1.0 version of the software was released on February 26, 2015.[1][4]
As of May 2021, sporadic work on the codebase at GitHub is ongoing, but no official 1.1 release has been made.
