Welcome to Bika Cannabis
Bika Cannabis demonstration installation. Open Source LIMS for commercial and in-house cannabis laboratories
Request Access ᐧ Dashboard ᐧ BrochureBika Open Source LIMS, established in 2002, is a feature-rich, mature, web-based LIMS, 'better than any boxed product'. Through the benefits of Open Source, Bika presents a feasible alternative to expensive proprietary systems.
Bika Cannabis is built as an add-on to Bika's standard LIMS, which does chemistry and microbiology very well, to ISO 17025 standard. Bika's flexible configuration and additional attributes such as Strain, Metrc attributes, Client and Lab licensing, and a METRC interface enable its cannabis capabilities. Most labs only interface their instruments and set the rest up for a good fit. It is not expensive, there are no license fees, only services as implementation costs: Installation, Configuration, Training, Start-up Assistance, Go Live. Complex setup data and instrument interface customisation add to it, but a standard implementation can be completed for less than $15,000 for medium-sized laboratories. Less, depending on urgency and staff making use of online content and assistance, albeit at a slower pace. Pages 6 - 8 in our brochure discuss how to navigate Open Source projects most affordably. Please let me know if you have questions or are interested in access to our online demo or a live demonstration.
