The Matrix Gemini LIMS from Autoscribe has been designed to save time when registering samples.
Details for different sample types can be presented on a single screen, offering additional benefits for contract laboratories which may need to carry out regular analyses of samples from many different disciplines.
Bulk Sample Registration provides a grid with spreadsheet-like data-entry functionality, including copy and paste and fill function for registering large numbers of samples.
This offers the flexibility to accommodate a wide range of sample types. For example the system could be set up to accept ten similar samples followed by 20 individual samples.
A test or group of tests can be easily added to a particular Bulk Sample Registration sample row as many times as needed.
Data may also be prepared in Excel or other compatible spreadsheet and copy/pasted into the Bulk Sample Registration grid.
Bulk Sample Registration allows entry of the sample data to be done in advance of the registration operation, and optionally saved as a template for future use. Templates are particularly useful for contract laboratories who have regular repeat batches of samples for analysis.
Data can be automatically registered from the grid using a single button. Before registration takes place, the system carries out a number of checks.
These include checking the presence of data in each required column for each sample; that any batch code used is present in the database; that sample codes are assigned to sample rows, and many more.
