System
LDMS is a comprehensive laboratory information management system for managing collections of biological specimens. It is used by clinics and laboratories around the world to manage specimen tracking, inventory storage, specimen shipment, barcode labeling and much more.
LDMS was developed and is maintained by Frontier Science, a not-for-profit organization that has over 40 years of data management experience.
What We Offer
LDMS is a comprehensive LIMS solution for laboratories, repositories, and clinical trial networks to manage biological research specimens. This cloud-based software requires zero installation and is accessible anywhere you have a stable internet connection.
