| How mLIMS can help a research lab (from real mLIMS Users): |
|
Case Study #1: Extra Rack
We have mice in two separate animal facilities. We didn't realize that we had a full rack of animals not being used until we received a big bill from the animal facility. Now we have started using mLIMS, we know in real-time how many cages we have and where they are, and we never have to pay for unnecessary cages. |
|
Case Study #2: Empty Cage
A technician forgot to discard a cage after the animals had been transferred to other cages. We got billed five times for that empty cage before we discovered and discarded that cage. Now with mLIMS, we can see warnings for empty cages right at the home screen and we will never get billed for empty cages again. |

Who Is Using mLIMS? |

Canada & International Users

"...there are very few programs available like mLIMS, and these other few are either too complicated or simple..." Haluk Yuzugullu, PhD, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Harvard University "We have been using mLIMS for over a year and are very pleased with our choice. The user-friendly features of this software program have been especially helpful in the transition from our old mouse colony maintenance system. Also, the customer service from BioInfoRx has been excellent!" Chan Bouribon Feinberg Cardiovascular Research Institute, Northwestern University School of Medicine "We have more than three transgenic mice colonies in our lab. We had a hard time managing each colony well. It is a challenge for us to consistently record data. In the last 5 months, we have been using mLIMS mouse colony software. It is very easy to enter and display mice data. The developer responded very promptly to resolve our questions. I love to use it every day. Thank you for mLIMS; my colonies are secure." Sung-Hyeok Hong, DVM, PhD, Georgetown University "I tried different colony management software and it was extremely difficult to manage. I am very happy with the services from mLIMS and the customer service." Cassandra Roeske, University of Ottawa Heart Institute "BioInfoRx mLIMS is simply the best mouse colony management program that we have ever used. It has a simple structure and intuitive interface that are in accordance with real environments in a research laboratory. It is also cloud based, and provides easy access and team collaboration. While there are still more features to expect, I believe mLIMS has the potential to become the best program of its type on the market." Yuhang Zhang, PhD, University of Cincinnati "As our lab and animal colony grew, it became clear we needed to get organized and mobile, with users at multiple sites. mLIMS has an easy user interface, great on-the-go updating ability, and helpful output in the form of printable cage cards and facility maps. Most importantly, Derrick at mLIMS has helped us so much - from entering and importing data to tweaking the database to best fit our needs. mLIMS is a great organizational and time-saving tool!"

mLIMS Enterprise is a web-based mouse colony management tool designed for a group of mouse research labs within the same university or research institute. Each individual lab will enjoy the same tools as standard mLIMS, and the institute will have access to these additional features to facilitate centralized management:
Your institute can manage animal information across many labs centrally on a single domain using mLIMS Enterprise. This is control panel view for the administrators.
- Your institute's own domain for mouse colony management
- System tailored to your institute's specific needs for cage cards, naming scheme, login methods, etc.
- Administrator roles to add or remove labs and users
- Super user roles enabling one user to work with multiple labs' animal records
- Advanced animal project tools for easy collaboration
- One flexible annual subscription based on actual usage
- Local or remote hosting options, all with full IT support
Role-based access in mLIMS Enterprise. While each group have access to their own animal data, administrators and super users can access multiple labs, and administrator can add or remove users and labs.

mLIMS StandardOnce you become a registered mLIMS user, you can start using the system instantly. A web browser is all you need. mLIMS Standard Academic Price Plans:
This price is for academic users only. For commercial users, please contact us for details. * Single User: In this mode, only one user can access the system at a time. It is good for labs with only one researcher responsible for animal information tracking. It is not advised to share single user account with multiple group members, because there will be no way to track who performed specific animal tasks and recorded data. * Group User: In this mode, multiple users can access the system simultaneously. Each user has an independent account. Whenever a record is updated, the system will show who made the last change. Also, the system can summarize the number of cages and animals for each user. It is perfect for team work. mLIMS EnterprisePlease contact us. Please provide information regarding hosting, number of labs, number of users, etc. to help us provide accurate pricing. mLIMS FacilityPlease contact us. Please provide information regarding number of users in the facility, number of cages and animals, and other special requests your facility need. |
