Laboratory Data
Management
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. Clients know that their biological specimen data is secure; LDMS is developed, maintained, and supported by Frontier Science Foundation, an expert in data management and regulatory compliance.

LDMS clients also receive concierge-level service with continuous 24/7 technical support and robust, study-specific end-user training, not just support at setup.

For additional specialization, collaborating with Frontier Science Foundation as your Data Management Center allows for LDMS customization, tailored project solutions, and study-specific data management.

Specimen Inventory

Efficiently log and track your specimen inventory using our intuitive user interface. Define custom specimen collection templates to standardize your data entry and minimize manual input. Quickly locate records in your database to review work or apply updates using a comprehensive set of record filters or 1D/2D barcode scanning capabilities.

Storage

Powerful and intuitive storage management features keep your specimens organized. Easily build and customize your unique, virtual storage environment aligned to your physical freezers. Assign specimens to individualized storage positions and locate specimens on-demand using a comprehensive set of record filters and robust reporting capabilities.

Shipping

Efficiently generate manifest reports and data- transfer files to move inventory between labs. Build shipments of specimens by using our comprehensive filters, bulk uploading lists of specimens, or leveraging your LDMS storage environment to quickly assign stored specimens for shipping.

Barcodes and Labels

Customizable features allow you to define and standardize unique specimen labels. Critical specimen information, including unique identifiers and 1D/2D barcodes, is displayed on your labels for each project. Label generating capabilities are integrated throughout the application, giving flexibility to your workflow and allowing you to decide when to print.

Data Exchange

Easily extract your data using LDMS reporting capabilities and our integrated API support. Utilize dozens of predefined and formatted reports across a variety of administrative and data categories or use our Custom Report Builder to define reports that meet your specific criteria. Go beyond basic reporting and use our integrated API to stream your LDMS data into larger and more complex data workflows.

Projects

With our unique expertise, affordability, and proven data management software, LDMS is the trusted choice for simplifying workflows and standardizing data collection to put your research on the path to success.

  • The initial design of the LDMS was developed in collaboration with laboratory managers and staff who work directly with clinical trial specimens and continues to improve over the years with further input from laboratory staff.  I’ve had to use many other databases for specimen tracking, but the LDMS is by far the most complete laboratory data management system, and I wish more of the studies we work with would use it.

  • The LDMS has proven to be a critical tool in monitoring our research specimens throughout their lifecycle, encompassing importation, storage, and shipment. Its implementation facilitates efficient coordination with our research sites, allowing for precise tracking of sample locations. Furthermore, the team at Frontier Science has consistently delivered essential training and effective customer support over the years.
