LIMS*Nucleus is a software program used to manage multi-well plates in an academic or industrial environment. Functionality includes:
- Generate 96, 384 or 1536 well plates with or without samples
- Collect plates into plate sets
- Group or split plate sets
- Reformat plates - four 96 well plates into a 384 well plate; four 384 well plates into a 1536 well plate
- Associate assay data with plate sets
- Identify hits scoring in assays using included algorithms - or write your own
- Export annotated data
- Generate worklists for liquid handling robots
- Rearray hits into a smaller collection of plates
- Prototype algorithms, visualization with R/Shiny
- Evaluate an online instance
- Video overviews of features and capabilities
LIMS*Nucleus has a restricted set of features - multi-well plate management, hit identification, rearraying - and serves as the core of a larger system. Source code is available for modification. The architecture is simple client/server with no middleware or ORM. The client utilizes Bootstrap/Datatables and the database is PostgreSQL The software is packaged as a Guix pack for easy installation/configuration. R/Shiny dashboards can be used to extend functionality.
