ms-lims was a free open-source laboratory informatics software solution that automated the processing, identification, quantification, and interpretation of mass spectrometry-based proteomics data.
Product history
Development of ms-lims began in 2003 via the Department of Biochemistry – Ghent University and the Department of Medical Protein Research - VIB.[1] Development began out of a need for automation of mass spectrometer-related proteomics data management and processing within a dynamic client-server architecture.[2] At an unknown point, the ms-lims project moved to Google Project Hosting as a public open-source project.
