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.
Most Bika Water functionality has now been assimilated in Bika LIMS, which does chemistry and microbiology very well, to ISO 17025 standard. Bika's flexible configuration enables its environmental management 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 $15k 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.
