The UltraScan LIMS databases
The UltraScan software is complemented by the Public UltraScan LIMS portal (USLIMS) available to academic and non-profit users. It uses a MySQL database to serve analytical ultracentrifugation data to UltraScan users. In order to access this portal you will need an account in the database that has been set up for your institution. LIMS portals are available through multiple public LIMS servers. Please find the server closest to your institution and locate your institution in the list, and follow the "Login" button to request a new account if you have not registered before. If your institution is not found, please apply for a new USLIMS instance for your institution by following the link to "Request a new LIMS instance" on the geographically closes LIMS server.
The USLIMS system is intended for all UltraScan users who wish to submit new data analysis requests to the LIMS portal. Please visit the USLIMS-III websites for further information on how obtain access to the LIMS portal for your institution, and how to connect your UltraScan software to the MySQL database back end. More information can also be found on our FAQ section for the LIMS service.
In order to use the UltraScan LIMS portal together with your UltraScan software, you will need to have Internet access and configure UltraScan to use the UltraScan LIMS database. This requires a password, a database and hostname information, as well as a username. This will be issued by us for each facility or institution with their own USLIMS instance. The database information will be provided to the facility administrator at the time when the instance is first set up. If an instance exists for your institution, please contact your local administrator for this information.
