mLIMS

mLIMS is a web-based and mobile laboratory information management system (LIMS) designed for transgenic mouse colony management and broader animal colony management across research, biotech, pharma, and core facility environments. Developed by BioInfoRx and backed by expertise in rodent database management since 2006, mLIMS enables researchers, facility managers, and organizations to centralize all animal resource management tasks in a single, user-friendly platform. It supports multiple species including mice, rats, zebrafish, primates, tree shrews, and more.

mLIMS is available in several tiers — for individual researchers, biotech and commercial users, enterprise departments, and core animal facilities — making it suitable for a wide range of organizational scales, from a single-user free account managing up to 100 cages to a full enterprise deployment spanning multiple labs and facilities.
