实验室信息管理系统（LIMS）是生物库活动基础信息学基础设施的核心。迄今为止，已有多种商业和开源LIMS可用，选择一种LIMS而不是另一种LIMS的决定通常受到生物库客户和研究人员的需求以及可用财务资源的影响。通过定制Bika LIMS软件（）开发了猴面包树LIMS，以满足生物样本库最佳实践的要求。实施生物库标准操作程序以及刺激使用生物库数据表示标准的需求促使实施Baobab LIMS，这是一种用于生物库的开源LIMS。Baobab LIMS包括用于生物样本试剂盒组装、生物样本试剂盒运输、存储管理、分析请求、报告和发票的模块。Baobab LIMS基于Plone网络内容管理框架。Plone的所有系统要求都适用于Baobab LIMS，包括至少需要8 GB RAM和120 GB硬盘空间的服务器。Baobab LIMS是一个基于服务器-客户端的系统，最终用户可以通过标准的Web浏览器通过互联网安全地访问系统，从而消除了在所有机器上独立安装的需要。
A laboratory information management system (LIMS) is central to the informatics infrastructure that underlies biobanking activities. To date, a wide range of commercial and open-source LIMSs are available and the decision to opt for one LIMS over another is often influenced by the needs of the biobank clients and researchers, as well as available financial resources. The Baobab LIMS was developed by customizing the Bika LIMS software () to meet the requirements of biobanking best practices. The need to implement biobank standard operation procedures as well as stimulate the use of standards for biobank data representation motivated the implementation of Baobab LIMS, an open-source LIMS for Biobanking. Baobab LIMS comprises modules for biospecimen kit assembly, shipping of biospecimen kits, storage management, analysis requests, reporting, and invoicing. The Baobab LIMS is based on the Plone web-content management framework. All the system requirements for Plone are applicable to Baobab LIMS, including the need for a server with at least 8 GB RAM and 120 GB hard disk space. Baobab LIMS is a server–client-based system, whereby the end user is able to access the system securely through the internet on a standard web browser, thereby eliminating the need for standalone installations on all machines.
