Autoscribe has announced the availability of two new LIMS software products, intended to provide sample and test management for DNA testing laboratories
Fully integrated with the very successful Matrix PlusT LIMS, the new PlateManagerT and GelManagerT modules provide support for sample processing from registration, receipt, extraction, purification, and amplification to identification and reporting. The contents of plate wells and gel plates are recorded and tracked throughout the entire laboratory process.
Status and audit reports are available at any time.
Although LIMS have long provided analytical testing and research laboratories with improved levels of automation and enhanced productivity, few if any have been suitable for use in laboratories using the newer molecular biology techniques.
DNA technology has revolutionised such applications as paternity testing, forensics, clinical diagnosis and the detection of genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
This success has created a very large increase in the number of samples that are processed in DNA testing laboratories. Laboratory staff and management require tools to manage the increase in data produced by this increased sample load.
Matrix Plus used in conjunction with PlateManager and GelManager offers a cost-effective solution.
