A new 'Process Steps' module within Matrix LIMS from Autoscribe will enable users to track with full audit trail each stage of a process.
Matrix LIMS Version 4 supports a new object called a test group enabling one or more tests to be associated with a test group.
Through supporting test groups Matrix LIMS Version 4 may be used to manage processes and process steps such as those required in the preparation of a sample e.g weighing a sample amount, extracting with a volume of solvent, adding a given volume of reagent etc Each of these steps can be defined allowing entry of information, with date, time and user identification stamps, as the step is completed.
The resulting step-by-step audit trail within the process is a must for any laboratory operating in a regulated environment.
Process Steps allows the step order to be defined and limits to be applied to each piece of data that is entered in the same way as limits are specified for laboratory tests.
Using an overview screen Process Steps allows the status of the entire process and each individual step to be monitored and a variety of reports to be generated. Process Steps can be applied to any application that involves a sequence of actions, where confirmation of those actions is required.
Combining improvements to well-established modules and the addition of new functionality the version 4.0 release of Matrix LIMS from Autoscribe represents the cutting edge of user-friendly, yet powerful, laboratory information management.
