The LIMS package will combine an application, developed using VB.NET, to manage the data with other open-source or freeware programs such as MySQL and WEKA. The numerous commercial chemical informatics applications available are useful tools to learn how to manage data from a user's standpoint. However, they are not readily available to the average student, nor do they offer a great understanding into how they were developed from a programmer's frame of mind. There is a great void here that, if filled can greatly help the academic community.en-USLaboratory Information Management SystemLIMS applicationOpen source softwareCheminformaticsThesis
