Autoscribe Updates Matrix Gemini LIMS

Autoscribe's Matrix Gemini Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) has been enhanced with new functionality for the ‘runsheet’ function. Aimed at the automation of quality control samples and how they are grouped together this new functionality provides the ability to create runsheet templates and automatically build runsheets from those templates as well as performing standard QC calculations.

Accessible through either Matrix Gemini’s web or Windows interface, the software now offers the flexibility to select the type of test, select a runsheet template, select a set of unknowns and have the LIMS build the run list and related QC samples automatically.

In addition, different types of runsheet can be defined, for example a ‘preparation batch’ and an ‘analytical batch’. Sample tests can also be added to multiple runsheets since a particular sample test may be associated with more than one type of run list.

Standard QC calculations such as percent recovery or relative percent difference can now be automatically calculated within the test grids. In addition, the capability to select sets of results and mark them as non-reportable has been added to accommodate the possibility that certain results aren’t appropriate for some reason such as the sample needing to be diluted.
