SLims was designed with flexibility as its main design principle, ready to be adapted to any type of laboratory. The SLims configuration can be permanently modified and fine-tuned by SLims users, and is therefore optimally suited for dynamic lab environments. The system is very competitively and transparantly priced, without any hidden costs. SLims was built with the latest web 2.0 technologies, by labs, for labs.
- Only needs a browser to run, but feels like a desktop application
- Spreadsheet style grids and input
- Visual storage location details (96 well plates, freezer, etc)
- Seamlessly integrated administration modules
- Word processor style Electronic Lab Notebook
SLims was developed by Genohm, a bio-informatics company with offices in Belgium and Switzerland.

Sample Reception & Management
You can configure your own sample types and location types and specify on the fly what data you want to store about each of them. Every location is visually represented, so that free locations and samples are clear from a quick look. Moving a sample to another location can be done with a simple drag & drop action.

Navigating through your sample repository can be done in a hierarchical tree view, or you can use the spreadsheet like filtering that is present everywhere in SLims.

SLims is delivered together with an easy to use barcoding system. This system enables you to easily assign, print & scan barcodes, which can be used for samples, machines and storage locations. This will help your lab to register samples upon reception, easily log the storage location and to quickly register actions performed on your samples.

SLims also features an intelligent Excel© Import/Export engine that lets you transfer all your data from and to Excel©
Electronic Lab Notebook
SLims contains a full featured Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN), which will make it easier to store & find information about ongoing and past experiments/protocols, samples, results, etc. The ELN is tightly integrated with the Sample Management part, so you can easily identify which samples have been used in which protocols and to what results they have led.
The ELN supports organisation into projects, experiments and experiment runs, and you can easily browse running experiments, who is working on what step in the protocol, etc.

Scientific Data Management
SLims allows you to attach and trace any data (including files from external applications) to an experiment form or sample. Attached information can be referenced directly within SLims text fields, allowing for easy, direct visualisation.
Lab Data Integration
Integrate SLims with lab machines, legacy databases, external datasources. Integrate existing command line tools into workflows. Integrate existing web services.

SLims is built to integrate to virtually any system. This ensures direct import of lab machine data to corresponding experiment files. Statistical and analytical procedures can be run (automatically) on the required data. Not only lab machines but also existing databases and systems can be connected to SLims making sure you have all relevant information close at hand.
Order Management, Worklists & Reporting
By using SLims you can manage external orders, track and approve results from one central system. It helps you to organize your daily operations, through for example generating work lists and reporting results in an easy and time-efficient manner.
Samples and tests can be ordered from the order management module. Required data can be entered directly by the customer into SLims.

Quality Control
Follow up essential quality parameters in SLims' Quality Control (QC) module. Use the real time chart to watch trends and spot outliers immediately.
User Experience
SLims has been designed with an efficient user experience in mind. SLims runs in any browser, but feels like a desktop application. Spreadsheet style grids throughout the interface allow efficient data submission as you would in your favorite spreadsheet and offer quick filtering on all columns.

Users can customize the look & feel of their SLims instance and their settings are applied as soon as they login. You can indicate which columns you want to see, what colors are used to indicate the current state of samples or protocols.
Compliance
SLims helps your lab compliance, without effort and stress. The system entails modification tracking, data history storage and version tracking without you having to do any extra administration. The SLims software is 21 CFR Part 11 ready - ISO compliant.
Security
Using SLims improves your lab security. It can be easily integrated with existing authentication infrastructure (Active Directory, LDAP, etc.). SLims' fine grained role management allows you to control user and group access to specific content and actions.
Server Deployment
SLims will be available throughout your lab on every web browser by any user. There is no need for installing the software on every different computer.
Advanced Features
We have made SLims a complete environment, but of course you will think of features that are not covered out of the box. For this reason, SLims has been built with flexibility in mind, so that you can adapt it to any need and any environment.
The SLims metamodel means that you define what properties should be traced for each and every sample type, for each location type, for each protocol step, All sample and location types are defined by your people from within SLims, on the fly, and do not require any programming or intervention from us.

A central design principle of SLims from the very start has been to be open to integration. Integration with your custom tools is possible in a variety of ways.

Most interaction with external tools can be done through SLimsGate. This is an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) based environment allowing integration with external programs, databases, email, lab machines, web services, etc, without programming. For deep interaction with the underlying data model, you can tap into SLimsDAO. This full featured open API allows your programs to access all data without losing the essential SLims features of traceability and security.
For R&D Labs
SLims is not like your average LIMS. It is a lightweight, highly configurable environment that follows changing requirements effortlessly.
This makes SLims ideally suited for research environments. Defining a unique protocol for a single protocol can be done on the fly in the electronic lab notebook. Never lose track of information when PhD students leave the lab, or research technicians migrate to other departments or jobs.
SLims comes in competetively priced packages for tenure professors and small labs.
For Service Facilities
Use Slims to track your tests from the customer's order to the delivery of the final result: all in one environment.
- Follow orders for tests or samples in the order management module
- Organise your work according to priority in the worklist module
- Check the status of all orders in a clear overview
You can even grant privileged customers access to more detailed information, such as the current status of test protocols in your lab.
For Biobanks
Slims will tell you where each and every sample is located, what status it is in. Slims lets external partners order samples and submit them. Trace your bio material from order to delivery from a single package. Implement custom quality control features (e.g. freeze/thaw cycles), store custom datafields, and use SLims' advanced querying capacities to find samples that match arbitrarily complex criteria.
