SLIMS 6.1 is released !

Genohm has just released version 6.1 of SLIMS, its Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) + Electronic Laboratory Notebook (ELN) solution.

Driven to provide the best possible experience for end users by looking beyond state-of-the-art technologies, SLIMS is continuously improved to meet the demanding needs of the most ambitious labs in the world.

With the release of SLIMS 6.1 comes a bunch of new features

Dashboards!

SLIMS 6.1 includes a Dashboard module allowing different visualizations to be displayed on the same screen. Grids, Macros, Flows, Graphs, Rich Text, SLIMS Gate widgets can be configured in a column layout edited and saved by administrators. Customize your very own widgets and set up your perfect dashboard!

Precise and convenient timing

 SLIMS 6.1 is introducing a complete server-side timer that can be used in any experiment. Complete other tasks while the timer counts for you, and receive a SLIMS browser notification when the timer expires. SLIMS timers are user-friendly and visually appealing so they are even easier to use than their physical counterpart.

Add your own Custom Icons

Every aspect of SLIMS is built to be fully customizable to fit the needs of your lab. That goes for anything you need to manage in SLIMS, from hazardous ingredients to your favorite compound microscope.  Starting now you can upload your own favorite icons for any content, instrument, location, macro, etc.

Share and browse setup

SLIMS 6.1 comes with a full access to the SLIMS Store and SLIMS Share, allowing you to explore existing configurations and protocols, and share your own with other labs in your institution or beyond.
