The Application of Web-Based Technologies for a Spectroscopy Based LIMS System, SLIMS.

Advanced Chemistry Development has utilized web-based technologies including Java-based structure drawing and spectral display applets in order to produce SLIMS, a Spectral Laboratory Information Management System.
This application was developed with the needs of the research chemist and spectroscopist as well as the research management in mind. The particular area of focus was to develop a web-based integration of sample, structure and spectral management. By implementing Java applications and ensuring compatibility with Netscape and Microsoft browsers, the development ensures platform independence for a Laboratory Information Management System that was previously only a concept.

Web technology has provided to the world an intuitive and graphical point-and-click environment for users to travel through a world of complex information. This talk will discuss the development of a fully web-based LIMS system as well as the many unique attributes of this system for addressing the needs for structure database and multi-technology spectral database management.
