This web-based approach results in a zero-installation for the users and enables access from any computer within the LAN. These queries generate multi-entry tables that are easily converted to tab delimited text for display or analysis with other software. The second type, much more complex, includes relationships between the tables to retrieve the current content and process history of plates as well as the final experimental results. The first type focuses on the content of individual database tables. Information retrieval is managed through two types of queries. Plate barcodes are entered using barcode scanners to avoid miswriting, and each database transaction is stored in the database with the user's name and the date. Specific JavaScript form validations check the data type and integrity with respect to other tables in the database and guide the users through the workflows by prompting them to fill the required fields of one step before moving on to the next step. All of these functions are managed through вЂrestrictiveвЂ™ forms that use pull-down menus, whenever possible, to minimize form-filling errors. Each laboratory step has a corresponding LIMS transaction (mostly plate barcode transactions) that triggers addition(s) or update(s) of single or batches of database records. The interface includes one or more display screens that are specific for each step in our process and in which the related data are presented in tables that list the queried database content.

A series of в€ј250 Java Server Pages (JSPs) enable database management by linking the user interface to the database. The LIMS presents a friendly and intuitive user interface users navigate within the application in the same manner as they are accustomed to navigate web sites, using menus that follow the laboratory workflows. The content is secured by a combination of different kinds of daily and incremental backups. The database schema mirrors the workflow and is sufficiently flexible to allow evolution in workflow subprocesses. The MySQL database embodies a complex data model that integrates different types of data from sample features to result reports including all plates and reagents that are used along the mutation screening process.

An important feature of our LIMS is that it enables tracking of information through a laboratory workflow where the process at one step is contingent on results from a previous step.ДЄvailability: Script for MySQL database table creation and source code of the whole JSP application are freely available on our website. Flexible, expandable and secure, the LIMS, by communicating with most of the laboratory instruments and robots, tracks samples and laboratory information, capturing data at every step of our automated mutation screening workflow. Designed with a client/server architecture, our system is platform independent and based on open-source tools from the database to the web application development strategy.

We have developed a Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) tailored to high throughput candidate gene mutation scanning and resequencing that respects these requirements.

Complex multistep workflows require strict process management and careful data tracking.

With LIMS, information flows more efficiently, and product is shipped in a timely manner the bottom line is improved, while accuracy and compliance are ensured.Summary: High throughput mutation screening in an automated environment generates large data sets that have to be organized and stored reliably.

Analytical instruments may also be integrated with LIMS to automatically capture test results, reducing human error. As samples are received into the lab, user-defined operating procedures ensure that personnel follow appropriate protocol. As plant-floor samples are collected, LIMS generates documentation for each sample as part of a strictly-enforced, bar-coded chain of custody. CAT SquaredвЂ™s Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) was developed specifically for the food-processing industry and exceeds the capabilities of a typical laboratory system.
