Coming Soon
Biologics LIMS offers strong support for antibody discovery operations. Learn more in our webinar:
Release 24.10, October 2024
- Charts are added to LabKey LIMS, making them an "inherited" feature set from other product tiers.
Release 24.7, July 2024
- A new menu has been added for exporting a chart from a grid. (docs)
Release 23.12, December 2023
- The Molecule physical property calculator offers additional selection options and improved accuracy and ease of use. (docs)
Release 23.11, November 2023
- Update Mixtures and Batch definitions using the Recipe API. (docs | docs)
Release 23.9, September 2023
- Charts, when available, are now rendered above grids instead of within a popup window. (docs)
Release 23.4, April 2023
- Molecular Physical Property Calculator is available for confirming and updating Molecule variations. (docs)
- Lineage relationships among custom registry sources can be represented. (docs)
- Users of the Enterprise Edition can track amounts and units for raw materials and mixture batches. (docs | docs)
Release 23.3, March 2023
- Potential Backwards Compatibility Issue: In 23.3, we added the materialExpDate field to support expiration dates for all samples. If you happen to have a custom field by that name, you should rename it prior to upgrading to avoid loss of data in that field.
- Note that the built in "expirationDate" field on Raw Materials and Batches will be renamed "MaterialExpDate". This change will be transparent to users as the new fields will still be labelled "Expiration Date".
Release 23.2, February 2023
- Protein Sequences can be reclassified and reannotated in cases where the original classification was incorrect or the system has evolved. (docs)
- Lookup views allow you to customize what users will see when selecting a value for a lookup field. (docs)
- Users of the Enterprise Edition may want to use this feature to enhance details shown to users in the "Raw Materials Used" dropdown for creating media batches. (docs)
Release 23.1, January 2023
- Heatmap and card views of the bioregistry, sample types, and assays have been removed.
- The term "Registry Source Types" is now used for categories of entity in the Bioregistry. (docs)
Release 22.12, December 2022
- Projects were added to the Professional Edition of Sample Manager, making this a common feature shared with other tiers.
Release 22.11, November 2022
- Improvements in the interface for managing Projects. (docs)
- New documentation:
- How to add an AnnotationType, such as for recording Protease Cleavage Site. (docs)
- The process of assigning chain and structure formats. (docs)
Release 22.10, October 2022
- Improved interface for creating and managing Projects in Biologics. (docs)
Release 22.9, September 2022
- When exploring Media of interest, you can easily find and review any associated Notebooks from a panel on the Overview tab. (docs)
Release 22.8, August 2022
- Search for data across projects in Biologics. (docs)
Release 22.7, July 2022
- Biologics subfolders are now called 'Projects'; the ability to categorize notebooks now uses the term 'tags' instead of 'projects'. (docs | docs)
Release 22.6, June 2022
- New Compound Bioregistry type supports Simplified Molecular Input Line Entry System (SMILES) strings, their associated 2D structures, and calculated physical properties. (docs)
- Define and edit Bioregistry entity lineage. (docs)
- Bioregistry entities include a "Common Name" field. (docs)
