BonsaiLIMS was a free lightweight open-source laboratory information management system (LIMS) solution that "allows users to manage their studies and sample data though a secure web interface."[2] The software was implemented as a module, which can then be embedded into a larger portal application via Django, a Python web framework.[2]

Product history

Members of the Translational Medicine Research Collaboration (TMRC), a partnership of several Scottish universities, pharmaceutical company Wyeth, and Scottish Enterprise[3], needed an inexpensive and easy-to-implement laboratory informatics system for their research facility, so they decided to develop one to meet their requirements. Their goal was stated as wanting to[2]:

  • move bench scientists involved in translational research away from ad-hoc data recording
  • provide central management of lab data
  • improve sample management
  • improve collaboration between lab scientists

A SourceForge project was created on November 23, 2010, the same day as its original public release.[1] The project was never updated, however, and appears to be abandoned.

Features

The developers released a short user guide on SourceForge detailing what the software does.

Hardware/software requirements

Installation requirements and instructions are listed on the SourceForge page.

Videos, screenshots, and other media

The user guide on SourceForge has a few screenshots of the software.
