Di-LIMS

Di-LIMS is a web-based Laboratory Information Management System developed by DiData, designed for laboratory teams across industries including biobanks, clinical research, and general scientific operations. It provides sample management, workflow configuration, instrument integration, storage tracking, and access control within a single platform, and is built to support laboratory certification and compliance requirements.

The system is positioned as a ready-to-use yet flexible solution that does not require IT expertise to configure, allowing lab staff to set up and manage processes directly. It is used by teams in sectors such as genomics and biobanking, where data integrity, traceability, and security are critical operational requirements.

Sample Management

• Provides an interface for managing samples and their associated data throughout the full sample lifecycle, from collection to shipment.
• Supports barcode assignment and label printing for individual samples.
• Maintains a comprehensive audit trail (chain of custody) covering all laboratory and test data actions.
• Ensures traceability, compliance, and security across sample records.

Workflow Configuration

• Includes an intuitive workflow editor for designing and replicating laboratory workflows without requiring IT involvement.
• Guides lab members through step-by-step processes to standardize operations across teams and projects.
• Supports high-quality data input and consistent test results through structured workflow execution.

Instrument Integration

• Connects to laboratory instruments including barcode scanners, printers, and freezers.
• Transfers data automatically from connected instruments into the system, reducing manual data entry and minimizing human error.

Storage and Inventory Management

• Allows users to recreate their physical storage structure digitally with precise mapping.
• Supports multiple storage types including Freezers, Drawers, Shelves, Boxes, and Plates, with both custom and default configurations.
• Assigns each sample to a specific storage location for efficient inventory management, traceability, and space optimization.

Access Control and Security

• Supports role-based permission controls to restrict access to sensitive records.
• Maintains full audit trails for every action taken within the system.
• Designed to support governance requirements and compliance with data privacy and data protection regulations.

Extensibility

• Supports a plugin system that allows users to create and customize new features and modules.
• Optimized for performance on large data sets.

Di-LIMS is part of the broader DiData platform, which also includes Di-Freeze for freezer management, Di-EDC for clinical data capture, and Di-QMS for quality management. The platform supports local hosting on customer servers and automatic backups, as noted by users in biobank environments. DiData applications are described as compliant with current security protocols and data protection policies, making Di-LIMS suitable for laboratories preparing for or maintaining certification.
