Illustrative schematic: a “Sample” flask flows to an “MPMS, SQUID, capture” box, then to an “Enneal LIMS” cylinder, to the letters F, A, I and R (findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable) and to a “DOI, publication” document; “v1.0” and “145 automated tests” labels.

Born from my own samples

Enneal LIMS was born from my own need to control and organize my lab samples. LIMS stands for laboratory information management system, and this one is built for universities.

It’s one of the five Enneal products launched in 2026. Here I look at it from the academic side: what it does for researchers.

From sample to publication

The core idea is to follow the data from sample to publication, with FAIR and DOI:

  1. Sample: the record starts there.
  2. Measurement: data captured from MPMS/SQUID.
  3. FAIR data: findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable.
  4. Publication: the path to it, with a DOI.

MPMS/SQUID capture

The LIMS does MPMS/SQUID data capture. The SQUID is one of the instruments I work with in my solid-state physics research, so this is a piece I know from both sides: the bench and the code.
