Matrix Gemini™ is the World’s first fully configurable Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) Pathology Management Information System that is designed for every pathology laboratory.

Matrix Gemini delivers an identical user experience no matter whether you use a LAN, WAN or the Web. As soon as any screen is designed using the unique Matrix Gemini™ OneTime™ Configuration Tools, it is immediately available via your network or over the web, without further modification, effort or cost!

Choose the connection to suit your situation and role; if you are out of your lab today, use the Web; back in your lab tomorrow, use a client on your LAN – Matrix does not mind! Just license the number of concurrent users that you need and connect whichever way is best for you. Unlike other systems that have “bolt on” web pages, older legacy code and esoteric, proprietary scripting languages, Matrix Gemini™ is developed using pure Microsoft .NET tools to deliver a LIMS for the 21st century so that you can move ahead with confidence.

Today, laboratories are required to change their processes on a frequent basis. This is a challenge when implementing a LIMS unless the system is extremely configurable. However, until now there has always been a trade-off in choosing a LIMS – configurability vs. speed of implementation. Not any more. Matrix Gemini offers fast implementation and an excellent fit for a wide range of laboratories and processes.

Matrix Gemini lets you easily manage:

Submissions / Cases / Samples

Automatically or manually assign user definable case/submission numbers. Fully configurable Case/submission numbers may be system wide or based on customer/department codes.

Archive and Retrieve

Cases and samples can be stored on-line or off-line in an archive database and archived or retrieved as required from the active live database. 

Auditing and Version Control

The system monitors any changes made to dictionary data such as patient and

client information.

Case / Accession / Submission Forms  

Submission forms can be printed from the system for dispatch with sample

containers for use by customers. Labels/barcoded labels can also be produced.

Compliance

Meets 21 CFR Part 11 compliance requirements, ISO 17025, ISO 8655, DIN 12650, ISO 9000, NCCLS and GLP / GxP requirements.

Customer and Management Reporting

Delivered with many standard reports that may be further developed or created for customers and management of the laboratory.  

Databases

Matrix Gemini supports Microsoft SQL Server or Oracle databases. Matrix Gemini permits the use of three databases as standard. Usually these are used as a live database, an archive database and a training/development database. More databases can be optionally configured as can access to external databases eg supplier/customer details held in 3rd party databases.

eMail  and Fax

Automatically email/fax case reports or interim reports to clients in the format that they require (notepad, word, pdf).

Instrument Interfacing 

Any instrument that can print reports, create report files, csv files or can be connected via RS232, ASTM 1154 or TCP IP may be readily interfaced with Matrix Gemini. Easily create worklists / instrument runsheets for all pending work by department, user, test/profile or instrument thereby saving time, transcription errors and maximising efficiency.

Inventory Management

Easily maintain customer stock level, re-order level and re-order amount for forms, labels, large/ small tubes, swabs, blood tubes, envelopes, slide holders and more.

Invoicing

Customer / client specific prices may be set for all profiles and tests. The system can be interfaced with any accounting software package eg Sage.

Multiple Non- Hierarchical Security Levels

Every user is assigned a unique logon ID and password.   Fully configurable menus control user access to only those menu options and functions they have been authorized to view.

Labels and Barcode Printing

The system can automatically or on demand create case / samples bar code labels. The system can be configured to read barcodes wherever appropriate.

Pricing, Orders and Quotations

Pricing, Orders and Quotations may be automatically created based on client specific profile/ test charges at or before physical case/sample receipt.

Reporting

Fully user-configurable reports using Business Objects Crystal Reports. Interim or completed case reports can be generated that replace current forms / invoices used by your organization saving costs or preprinted forms / invoices.

Results Entry

Results are entered either manually or directly from instruments and systems connected to Matrix Gemini. Manual result entry is available on a sample by sample or test by test basis.

Retests / Restains

The system can be configured to automatically add additional (re)tests or restains if the results are suspect. Resampling may also be invoked.

Search Capability   

All screens may be configured so that data access is quick and easy and reporting is specific.

Web / Windows Desktop Remote Access   

Fully configurable OneTime™ visual workflow screen designer enables screens to be created for web and/or desktop client access. Remote users can be given secure web or dial in access to submit work or inquire about results or case/sample status.

Work Lists   

Easily create worklists / instrument runsheets for all pending work by department, user, test/profile or instrument thereby saving time, transcription errors and maximising efficiency.
