Bika Cannabis

Open source LIMS for Cannabis testing and research laboratories

Same Same but different

Bika Cannabis uses Bika / Senaite at its core and then add a few functions and attributes via add-on products. The standard Bika workflow, standard manual and videos are still valid

Bika Cannabis is only available as SaaS, Software as a Service, from Bika Lab Systems due to a government funding restriction. Your implementation will have the Bika Cannabis add-on installed, and also:

Bika UI - the classic Bika icon set in colour as opposed to default b&w, and easier configuration of banner, logo and favicon
Senaite Instruments - collection of instrument interfaces that includes the ones used in cannabis testing
Senaite Queue - for asynchronous back ground processing of the big cannabis analysis requests and worksheets
Senaite Storage - sample storage facilities and functions

The rest of the cannabis differentiation achieved in configuration, setting the LIMS up with cannabis Analysis, methods and instruments. See the Bika Cannabis 2 demonstration installation configuration which is thoroughly populated. Access
