TinyLab

TinyLab is an open-source laboratory management system designed to help researchers and institutions organize and track their scientific experiments and samples. It aims to provide a centralized platform for data management, workflow tracking, and collaboration within a laboratory setting. The system is typically web-based, allowing for access from multiple devices and locations.

Key features of TinyLab often include sample registration and tracking, experiment protocol management, data storage and analysis tools, and user role management for different levels of access and permissions. It is built with the intention of being adaptable to various research disciplines, from molecular biology to chemistry.

The project emphasizes an open-source approach, meaning its source code is publicly available and can be modified and distributed by users. This allows for customization and community-driven development, potentially leading to new features and improvements over time. TinyLab is typically developed using common web technologies, making it accessible for those with web development skills to contribute. The goal is to provide an affordable and flexible alternative to proprietary laboratory information management systems (LIMS).
