Publisher review:LabStoRe is a modular, optionally account-based, inventory or LIMS system. LabStoRe is a modular, optionally account-based, inventory or LIMS system originally developed in a biomedical research laboratory.
It provides a way to collect, maintain, present and archive information on laboratory stocks and records. A laboratory with a good inventory, or better, information system, saves time, reduces errors, prevents wastage, and occasionally even provides insights.
Because laboratories have multiple members, such systems are best centralised. Centralization, among other things, helps in universal access by all lab members to information and provides uniformity in information presentation. A good inventory system needs to be easily accessible, fast, flexible, future-proof and secure. The interface to this system is web-based, making it conveniently accessible and even though it is web-based, embedded security measures make it secure.
Being PHP/MySQL-based, the system is very flexible (imagine making Excel behave in a way that you want). The database (MySQL-based) is kept separate from the interface (web, i.e., PHP/HTML-based), which gives it a significant advantage over, say, an Excel- or Filemaker-based system.
MySQL and PHP are very stable, widely-used and supported (and free) platforms. If required, the database can be exported for use in more-traditional application based systems (Excel, Access, Filemaker, etc.). There are also numerous ways to import data from other types of databases to MySQL. The web interface can easily be modified with a little knowledge of PHP and HTML.
