We have extended our Arraydb Laboratory Information System (LIMS) collaboration with UCSF Cancer Center to allow separate laboratories' users to separately track progress as micro-array slides are printed and used. The system prevents users from seeing each others' data, except where specified, while tracking clones, DNA, as it is prepared and plated, microtiter plates, print-run specifications, slide-printing runs and slides printed, experiments on and images of the slides, and image-analyses. Both slide printer and image-analysis software write directly to the database. Users have the option of downloading selected tabular reports to Excel spreadsheets. Enhancements underway will also allow upload into the database from spreadsheets.

The system is implemented on an Oracle 8 database and served on the Web by a NetDynamics application server, providing a highly scaleable, flexible, and responsive solution. It is accessible from java-compatible web browsers, and provides a fine-grained control over security and accessibility.
