Same Same but different
Bika Cannabis uses Bika / Senaite at its core and then add a few functions and attributes via add-on products. The standard Bika workflow, standard manual and videos are still valid
Bika Cannabis is only available as SaaS, Software as a Service, from Bika Lab Systems  due to a government funding restriction. Your implementation will have the Bika Cannabis add-on installed, and also:
- Bika UI - the classic Bika icon set in colour as opposed to default b&w, and easier configuration of banner, logo and favicon
- Senaite Instruments - collection of instrument interfaces that includes the ones used in cannabis testing
- Senaite Queue - for asynchronous back ground processing of the big cannabis analysis requests and worksheets
- Senaite Storage - sample storage facilities and functions
The rest of the cannabis differentiation achieved in configuration, setting the LIMS up with cannabis Analysis, methods and instruments. See the Bika Cannabis 2 demonstration installation configuration which is thoroughly populated.  Access
Cannabis Attributes
These are the new Sample attributes
- Tracking ID

Metrc/Leaf
In a next version of Bika Cannabis, a Metrc interface will be included with work on it, depending client sponsorship, to start mid year 2023
The aim will be to register LIMS Samples by retrieving their information from the regulatory system based on its Tracking ID, and automate sample creation
Then when their results are verified, push it back to the regulatory system
Bulk Sample Import
The same attributes are also used in the cannabis version the Bulk Sample Import
State Limits
To reflect unwanted pesticide, solvent residue components and regulatory limits, Bika' standard Analysis/Product Specification architecture is used with results beyond the configured specification highlighted in views and results certificates, COAs
|
COAs
The Cannabis COAs are based on the standard ISO 17025 ready Bika single and multi Sample templates, with the added attributes and small regulatory requirements to e.g. indicate Pass / Fail in literal text
It includes Sample images
