SLIMarray

SLIMarray manages logistical information for microarray core facilities by integrating inventory records, sample processing tracking, and usage charge management for experiments such as hybridizations.


Key Features:

  • Inventory Management: Tracks inventories of arrays and records available resources within the facility.
  • Sample Processing Tracking: Monitors sample processing activities and provides an overview of operations performed using microarrays.
  • Usage Charge Management: Manages usage charges for services rendered, automating financial transactions related to hybridizations and other processes.
  • Modular Architecture: Employs a modular database web application architecture that enables configurable components and extensibility.

Scientific Applications:

  • Microarray Core Facility Management: Streamlines logistical operations in microarray core facilities, including inventory control, sample tracking, and billing for hybridization experiments.

Methodology:

Implements a modular database-backed web application architecture to enable configurable modules for inventory, sample tracking, and usage charge management.
