As the title says, I'm looking for a fairly basic LIMS software to be used to keep track of biobanking, with reagent tracking as a nice additional feature, does anybody know of one? My main want is to have topography of boxes stored within a fridge, with the samples easily identified.
I've been playing with a few such as Quartzy, which nearly suits our needs, but the UI is a little clunky for what I'm after. eLabInventory is great, however too expensive.
Bonus points if
- A UI that allows customization of sample types for easy viewing
- Allows metadata to be linked to each sample
- Is reasonably cheap (if not free!!)
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Cheers!
Hi Josh, I know it’s been a while since you posted this, but if you're still on the lookout for something, you might want to check out IGOR: https://www.igorlabapp.com/lab-inventory-management There’s a quick video at the bottom of the page that gives a nice overview of the inventory and LIMS features in action.
IGOR combines inventory tracking with a simple, user-friendly ELN and SOP management system — in case those would be useful to you as well.
Are you working in academia or industry? Either way, I think the pricing is fair (and transparent — it’s listed on the site), and the setup is super flexible. You can customize most of it yourself without needing to code or go through lots of support.
Hope it helps
