Android Samp Discussion Document 2015

Samp resolves data capturing in remote locations where connectivity is not guaranteed, server syncing when in reach. Some sampling areas in health care, geological exploration and environmental management are really remote

Bika Open Source Biobank Management System

Functional Requirements Overview & Phase I Objectives. Last update November 2015. This document outlines the requirements for the NHLS Cape Town H3Africa (NCB-H3A) Biobank Information Management System (BIMS) and its main components, in layman's language, maintaining scientific integrity, but for both programmers and business managers to understand.

Bika Picklist Spec 2017

Draft. Not implemented 2015 02. Picklists are dynamic 'continuous' work sheets that are auto populated with analysis to be done at any given time for a parameter set consisting of say Analyst, Method or Analysis Services, Instrument, etc.

Bika Sampling Rounds 2014

The aim of the design here is to automate as much as possible of the sampling process, including automatic creation of Sample records and Analysis Requests, and the use of barcodes. By offering Sampling Round creation as a web-based form, it opens up the possibility for it to be completed on-site using a mobile device (laptop, smart phone) directly in the LIMS

Bika Sampling Rounds Specification 2022

The aim of the design here is to automate as much as possible of the sampling process in the LIMS, per field trip or survey, ideally including automatic creation of Sample records, Packing lists, Worksheets for field results, and the use of preprinted barcodes created at Sample registration

Generalized Procedure for Screening Free Software and Open Source Software Applications

Bika scores well. John Joyce 2017. "Free Software and Open Source Software projects have become a popular alternative tool in both scientific research and other fields. However, selecting the optimal application for use in a project can be a major task in itself, as the list of potential applications must first be identified and screened to determine promising candidates before an in-depth analysis of systems can be performed. To simplify this process we have initiated a project to generate a library of in-depth reviews of Free Software and Open Source Software applications"

Inventory and Supply Chain management

Top level functional specification as discussion document re-assessing Bika Inventory and Supply Chain Management for a next round of improvements to our Open Source LIMS, and with more urgency this time as the module is attracting much attention from prospective 2015 Google Summer of Code developers, http://goo.gl/Vz9eCN.
