LabKey is a tool that is part of the CAMH Neuroinformatics Platform (NIP) and is primarily used to manage molecular data. LabKey has been customized to support Biobank and Molecular Core Services offered at CAMH. This system is designed to support management of the entire life cycle of biosamples including collection, processing, analyses, storage, and retrieval. LabKey can also be used by individual laboratories to support biosample and analyses management.
