Matrix Gemini Biobank On Show At ISBER

Autoscribe Informatics will be showing Matrix Gemini LIMS, configured for biobanking applications, at ISBER 2018. Matrix Gemini Biobanking provides the ideal solution for managing bio-samples (such as blood, tissue, DNA etc.) and assists with compliance with national regulatory requirements.

Matrix Gemini offers a number of key benefits for biobanking applications. These include:

• Full sample tracking including parent/child samples, aliquots, derivatives etc.
• Complete location recording e.g. room, freezer, shelf, container and container position
• Sample check-in, check-out, and in-transit sample notification
• Storage location auditing and reconciliation
• Chain-of-custody reporting
• Audit trail of all changes
• Barcode compatibility

Role-based security control ensures that only people with the appropriate level of authority have access to the different parts of the system.

The advanced customisation options of Matrix Gemini mean that the biobanking solution can be configured to meet the exact requirements of the particular facility and further configured to meet all future requirements without the need to write "one-off" custom code. This means that the potential life of the system is extended and the cost of ownership reduced.

A number of case studies are available on the Autoscribe Informatics website, illustrating the use of Matrix Gemini in biobanking applications at the following locations: The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre Biobank, Guy's and St Thomas' Hospital and The Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation (RCLCF).
