๐Ÿงช Open Source Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) Directory

Welcome to the comprehensive (and slightly silly) directory of open-source LIMS! Because managing lab data should be as fun as accidentally setting your lab coat on fire (but much safer).

1. OpenELIS

  • ๐Ÿ”ฌ GitHub Repo
  • ๐ŸŒ Website
  • ๐Ÿคช So open, it might accidentally share your lunch order with the whole lab

2. SENAITE

  • ๐Ÿ”ฌ GitHub Repo
  • ๐ŸŒ Website
  • ๐Ÿคช The cool kid on the block - thinks it's too cool for school, but actually does your homework for you

3. Bika LIMS

  • ๐Ÿ”ฌ GitHub Repo
  • ๐ŸŒ Website
  • ๐Ÿคช Not to be confused with a trendy juice cleanse - manages your samples better than you manage your social life

4. OpenLIS

  • ๐Ÿ”ฌ GitHub Repo
  • ๐ŸŒ Website
  • ๐Ÿคช The hipster cousin of OpenELIS - liked open-source before it was cool

5. Baobab LIMS

  • ๐Ÿ”ฌ GitHub Repo
  • ๐ŸŒ Website
  • ๐Ÿคช Perfect for when you need to manage both your biobank and your treehouse

6. FreeLIMS

  • ๐ŸŒ Website
  • ๐Ÿคช Free as in beer, but probably shouldn't be used while drinking one (Note: No GitHub repo available - it's playing hide and seek!)

7. OpenSpecimen

  • ๐Ÿ”ฌ GitHub Repo
  • ๐ŸŒ Website
  • ๐Ÿคช Open sesame? Nah, Open Specimen! Keeps your specimens more organized than your sock drawer

8. LabKey

  • ๐Ÿ”ฌ GitHub Repo
  • ๐ŸŒ Website
  • ๐Ÿคช Unlocks the door to data management, but you still need a real key for the lab

9. OpenClinica

  • ๐Ÿ”ฌ GitHub Repo
  • ๐ŸŒ Website
  • ๐Ÿคช Not just for clinics, despite what its name tells you - more flexible than your yoga instructor

10. MOLIS

  • ๐Ÿ”ฌ GitHub Repo
  • ๐ŸŒ Website
  • ๐Ÿคช Microbes' favorite LIMS - makes managing microbiology almost as fun as growing a sourdough starter

11. ALIS

  • ๐Ÿ”ฌ GitHub Repo
  • ๐Ÿคช As adaptable as its lizard namesake - changes colors based on your mood (okay, not really, but wouldn't that be cool?)

12. LImBuS

  • ๐Ÿ”ฌ GitHub Repo
  • ๐ŸŒ Website
  • ๐Ÿคช Developed by Aberystwyth University (gesundheit!) - takes your biobank on a wild ride, but always gets you to your destination

Remember, in the world of open-source LIMS, the code is free, but the lab coats are BYO! May your samples always be organized and your data never corrupted. Happy lab-managing! ๐Ÿงช๐Ÿ”ฌ๐Ÿงซ contact me if you know any other open source lab systems
