Bika Open Source LIMS Tutorials – Now Live

We are excited to announce the launch of the official Bika Open Source LIMS Tutorials! Step-by-step guides covering essential topics but also handy tips ant tricks

See Tutorials on the Resource page. Currently available:

Importing Samples in Bulk

When Sample intakes are too big for the Sample Create form to manage comfortably, upload the Samples to a Batch using spreadsheets

Building and Using Analysis Profiles and Analysis Templates

This is one of the most powerful time-saving features in Bika LIMS. Once you master these two tools, registering samples becomes dramatically easier in labs that run the same test packages repeatedly.

Generic Instrument Results Importer

Where an Instrument's Interface is not available yet and Analysis volumes are small and don't justify the expense, use Bika's '2D importer' instead

Using Control Charts for Temperature Monitoring

Incubator, refrigerator and water bath temperatures are measured in Micro-biology labs and can be graphed using Bika's QC Control Charts
