-==== What is a laboratory information management system? ====
-A laboratory information management system, or LIMS, is a kind of software that is designed to help manage large volumes of data produced from experimental workflows. In its simplest form, a LIMS acts as a tracking system that monitors the lifetime of a given sample as it progresses through various stages of production and characterization.

+In December 2023, the LIMS was re-designed to integrate, in a feed-forward manner, with the BioPACIFIC MIP electronic lab notebook (ELN). This enables linking experimental data to synthesized materials and experimental protocols described in notebook pages, as shown in Fig 1.
