LabPipe: an extensible informatics platform to streamline management of metabolomics data and metadata
share
Summary: Data management in clinical metabolomics studies is often inadequate. To improve this situation we created LabPipe to provide a guided, customisable approach to study-specific sample collection. It is driven through a local client which manages the process and pushes local data to a remote server through an access controlled web API. The platform is able to support data management for different sampling approaches across multiple sites / studies and is now an essential study management component for supporting clinical metabolomics locally at the EPSRC/MRC funded East Midlands Breathomics Pathology Node. Availability and Implementation: LabPipe is freely available to download under a non-commercial open-source license (NPOSL 3.0) along with documentation and installation instructions at http://labpipe.org.
