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

Customer and Management Reporting

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

Databases

Any ODBC/OLE DB compliant database is supported. Typically this will be Microsoft SQL Server or Oracle. 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 3^rd 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 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.
