ExLab LIMS: System Stack

ExLab is a custom Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) built for synthetic biology and high-throughput laboratory automation.

• Type-Safe Backend: Leveraging OCaml's strong type system to prevent common laboratory data entry errors and ensure chemical/biological consistency.
• RESTful API: A fully versioned JSON API (v1) that allows lab automation equipment and liquid handlers to communicate directly with the LIMS.
• Stateless Design: Ensures the system is robust, fast, and easy to upgrade without disrupting active lab sessions.
• PostgreSQL Storage: All experimental data, sample tracking, and user management are stored in a centralized, high-performance relational database.
