Who Is Using mLIMS?

We've added many new features to our search eninge, including smart search box (e.g., you will see a calendar if you search the Date of Birth, or you will see a list of available genotypes when you search the genotypes, etc), automatically save your sort prefernces, and we make the column width adjustable.

We've added more cage card templates in mLIMS.

Now you can add the mLIMS email notifications (e.g., event, mating, tagging and weaning emails) to your calender. Simply open the attachment includes in each email (event.ics), and your client will automatically create an event in your calender. Most modern email clients (e.g., iPhone, Gmail) support this feature.

We've made several improvements on mLIMS, including:

• Overall Performance: Now mLIMS runs even faster.
• Selection List (a.k.a. Shopping Cart): Now you can keep the selected records in the selection list. The unselected records will be removed from the list.

We have added a number of new features, which make mLIMS easier, faster and better! New features include:

• Automatically assign the animal name based on the animal identification (e.g., eat tag, ear punch etc).
• New mating, litter and add pups tools to make the breeding and weaning a lot easier.
• Email reminders on special dates during breeding and weaning.
• When adding pups, you can specify each pup with different values, such as ear tag, colors, parents, genotypes etc.
• Review records by strains (animals) and owners (animals, cages, mating and litter)
• New animal transfer tool
• We have a new field to store date of death instead of using status date.
• Access mating information when reviewing cage records
• Parent information is available when reviewing mating records in the mating summary / mating search.

We have out a new tool to import the animal and cage information. If your data is already stored in spreadsheet (e.g., Excel), you can start importing your data right the way. No work is required.

mLIMS now supports displaying ages of animals in the following ways:

• Year/Month/Day: 1y2m27d
• Week: 64w4d
• Day: 452d

mLIMS now supports unlimited number of genes and genotypes per animals.

We develop a new tool to manage user permissions. Now you can set different access permission for different users, including creating/update records, adding new values into the pull down menu, accessing the system tools etc. By default, you need to login as a group manager to access this tool.

Whenever you search for the any records, you can add the selected records into the selection list for later uses. It's like shopping carts on Amazon.

You can select the animals you want to be included in a mating. The system will automatically assign them as dam or sire according to their genders. Also, we include two additions dates, Plug Date and Anticipated Delivery Date to match your workflow.

Now you can visualize the layout of your cages on mLIMS.

We've included a special barcode on the cage card. If you use your smart phone to scan the cage card, the cage and animal information will be available to you.

We performed a major upgrade on mLIMS, including:

• Performance. Now mLIMS runs up to 5 times faster than before.
• New interfaces for Event, Experiment and Measurements Tools.
• Better connections between modules. Now you can do more on the Search Animals / Cages pages, including:
  • Add event / experiment based on selected animals
  • Add event /experiment based on selected cages (In this case, all animals inside the cages will be selected)
  • Run animal statistics based on selected cages (i.e., all animals inside the cages will be selected)
• Measurements. When you review the measurement record, you will see other related measurement records including:
  • All measurements belong to the same experiment
  • All measurements belong to the same animal

mLIMS now supports importing data from JCMS.

Now you can review a statistical summary based on your selected animals, such as the percentage of the genotypes, strain, sex etc.
