LIMS System Requirements

Server Requirements

LIMS uses Oracle or Microsoft SQL server databases to store and retrieve data. The high reliability of these databases, their abilities to handle huge amounts of data, their powerful features with respect to data integrity, security and portability have made them the best choice for many applications.

  • Database: Oracle Workgroup / Enterprise Server (Version 9i or later) or SQL Server (Version 2005 or later)
  • Operating System: Windows 2003 or later / Unix variations supported by Oracle
  • Hard Drive Capacity: 800 megabytes per site per year recommended


Workstation Requirements

LIMS client applications are created using Borland’s Delphi and benefit from a user-friendly Graphical User Interface (GUI) with the majority of functionality available via a web browser. The client PC may run  Microsoft Windows Vista, XP or Windows 7. LIMS is a stand-alone product, and does not require any additional software or utilities.

LIMS forms are completely integrated with Microsoft® Office (as an optional feature) and can import Excel spreadsheets as well as export them. Please note that Microsoft® Excel must be purchased separately from an authorized vendor.



Network Requirements

LIMS is a true client-server application. The server application is separate from the client application. Design of the logic and business rules keeps network traffic to a minimum. Special considerations allow the client application to reduce the volume of transmitted data through the network. This is especially useful for slow and remote connections.

LIMS can be deployed across dialup or internet protocol (IP) connections using Microsoft terminal server mode, to allow users straightforward access throughout the organization, at remote or home offices.
