SLIMS is a laboratory information management system suitable for small labs.  SLIMS is geared toward chemoinformatics and biological assays but can be extended with new datatypes.

SLIMS is completly open source.
MAC OS/X Download
Important MAC OS/X update. You no longer need to download wxPython if you download SLIMS 1.3. (This is the slims.dmg file in the downloads section) Please update to this version as it fixes many MAC related issues.

SLIMS is now available for Mac OS/X! Download it from sourceforge, see installing SLIMS for more information.

SLIMS Update Note
SLIMS-1.2b updates SLIMS-1.2. Export to SDF incorrectly output a large amount of compressed data in the SDF file which caused some compound readers to operate incorrectly. This has been corrected. Installthis over SLIMS-1.2. That is install SLIMS-1.2 and then SLIMS-1.2b
Installation Note
The slims-1.1 installation ommited the add experiment tutorial. This has been corrected in the slims-1.2 installer. To use the new tutorial, you should install the new version. You will not need to uninstall the old version of SLIMS.
Tutorial Note
Opening tutorial databases now automatically open the tutorial walkthrough.  You no longer have to search through the documentation to find the tutorial!  Also, when browsing for files from a tutorial database, the default folder is now  the tutorial data folder, making the necessary data easier to find.
TIP OF THE DAY
To plot dilution series data, make sure that the whole row is selected before clicking on the "Plot Dilution" command.
Slims Features
  • Built in chemoinformatics engine supplying substructure searching, similarity searching and more.
  • Compact fast database.  This single file database can be shared between collaborators and used for purposes of distributing data for publication.
  • Cross platform, SLIMS runs on Windows/Linux/MacOSX
  • Interacts with Microsoft Excel
  • Plot assay data in multiple ways.
  • Create or load dilution series for hit picking.
  • Plot and fit dilution curves.
  • Automatically locate analogues
  • Explore assay data using Self Organizing Maps and other analysis tools.
  • User documentation supplied.
