Highlights of Version 24.11

SDMS

  • Easily add complex formulas, statistics, and other analyses to your tables using Calculation Fields.
  • Integrate data into LabKey SDMS from your institution’s Snowflake data cloud and push LabKey data into Snowflake.
  • Admins can monitor and limit file system usage using a new report that shows the file root size in every folder across the site or within a specific subtree.

Community Edition of SDMS

  • Enhanced security and usability for API keys. This includes the ability to associate a description when creating an API key, a “last used” field showing the most recent timestamp of authentication, and the ability for users to delete their own API keys. 
  • Choose display formats for date, time, and datetime fields easily by selecting them from a list of standard format patterns.
  • View the file root size for each folder on the File Root page.

Sample Manager

  • Sample registration is more foolproof – Admins have the option of making lineage relationships required while adding new samples.
  • Declutter your folder list with the ability to archive Folders.
  • Often need more than just a sample ID? Our new Identifying Fields feature allows admins the option to select three additional fields. These can be viewed when adding samples to storage, creating derivatives or aliquots, referencing in an ELN entry, or adding assay data.

LIMS

  • Simplify your lab processes with Calculated Fields and Columns – automatically calculate incubation times, concentration, and much more.

Biologics LIMS

  • Major antibody discovery and characterization updates including:
    • Campaign modeling with plate set hierarchy support.
    • Plan plates easier with graphical plate design and templating.
    • Automate routine analyses from raw data collected. 
    • Perform hit selection from multiple, integrated results across plates and data types. 
    • Generate instructions for liquid handlers and other instruments.
  • Automatically integrate multi-plate results including interplate replicate aggregation.
  • Dive deeper into plated materials to understand their characteristics and relationships from plates.
