This paper presents Leaf LIMS, a flexible laboratory information management system (LIMS) designed to address the complexity of synthetic biology workflows. At the project’s inception there was a lack of a LIMS designed specifically to address synthetic biology processes, with most systems focused on either next generation sequencing or biobanks and clinical sample handling. Leaf LIMS implements integrated project, item, and laboratory stock tracking, offering complete sample and construct genealogy, materials and lot tracking, and modular assay data capture. Hence, it enables highly configurable task-based workflows and supports data capture from project inception to completion. As such, in addition to it supporting synthetic biology it is ideal for many laboratory environments with multiple projects and users. The system is deployed as a web application through Docker and is provided under a permissive MIT license. It is freely available for download at https://leaflims.github.io.

Leaf LIMS：以合成生物学为重点的灵活的实验室信息管理系统

本文介绍了Leaf LIMS，这是一种灵活的实验室信息管理系统（LIMS），旨在解决合成生物学工作流程的复杂性。在项目开始时，缺少专门针对合成生物学过程而设计的LIMS，大多数系统都专注于下一代测序或生物库和临床样品处理。Leaf LIMS实现了集成的项目，物料和实验室库存跟踪，提供了完整的样品和构建谱系，材料和批次跟踪以及模块化测定数据捕获。因此，它支持高度可配置的基于任务的工作流，并支持从项目开始到完成的数据捕获。因此，除了支持合成生物学外，它还是具有多个项目和用户的许多实验室环境的理想选择。该系统通过Docker部署为Web应用程序，并根据许可的MIT许可证提供。可从以下位置免费下载https://leaflims.github.io。
