A new open-source, web-based tool simplifies laboratory information management for biomedical research. This system efficiently handles research subject and sample data, offering a lightweight alternative to expensive commercial Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS).

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical research
  • Laboratory information management

Background:

  • Effective management of research subject and biomedical sample data is critical for study success.
  • Existing Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) are often costly and resource-intensive.
  • There is a need for accessible, open-source solutions for managing patient and sample information.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a web-based tool for managing research subject and sample data.
  • To provide a flexible and customizable system for various biomedical studies.
  • To address the gap in lightweight software for human research subject data management.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a web-based interface for data submission, management, and retrieval.
  • Implemented features for user group and privilege definition.
