Simplifies study management from protocol design to graphical presentation of results ? Optimises number of samples to be stored for a study thus avoiding shortages and waste ? Increases efficiency by full management of storage room operations ? Saves staff time by automatically registering pulled samples with test and limits ? Provides fast presentation of results using standard test and graphical reports including shelf life predictions ? Minimises implementation time by use of validation services Managing pharmaceutical stability testing can be very demanding, especially on small to medium size companies developing and producing OTC, generics and new Rx products. Some companies outsource the actual inventory management and testing requirements, but they are still required to track progress and report results as part of their QA or development process. Ensuring that approved protocols are followed precisely, with “pulls” made on schedule and the appropriate tests completed, can be time consuming and tedious tasks. Autoscribe’s Stability Study Management system offers start to end management of all types of stability studies within the busy food and health laboratories including work flows for sample storage and analytical testing, approval phases and importantly statistical analysis, and reporting. Designed to comply with regulatory guidelines such as 21 CFR Part 11 the system includes full protocol design and sample inventory management.

More efficient use of expensive automated equipment ? Better balance of workload to meet testing deadlines ? Viewable over desktop or browser clients A new “instrument booking” system module is available for Matrix Gemini LIMS. The system allows for the automatic allocation of sample-tests to the appropriate instrument within constraints which include the booking of pre-requisite tests, test order, sample availability dates and instrument capacities. Instrument bookings are displayed on a plan which is colour coded to represent either an empty instrument, a partially used instrument, an instrument at capacity or an offline instrument. The view of the instrument plan can be expanded / compressed so that the user can view a wider or narrower date range. Instruments are shown on the y-axis and time on the x-axis. At each interval where a booking is present the bar either displays the number of sample tests booked and the capacity (e.g. 4/10 showing 4 samples tests booked on an instrument with a capacity of 10) or “Offline” in the event of an instrument being offline for maintenance or calibration etc. When an instrument booking is highlighted a list box gives details of the samples to be run on that instrument at that time point. Samples can be moved from one instrument booking to an alternative date using a point and click system.

Fast implementation and lower cost of ownership ? System is configured specifically to meet user and business requirements ? System configuration is done once to update both the desktop and browser interface ? Easily implemented system changes mean your investment is future proofed ? All user developed configurations are supported at no extra cost ? Reduced risk as no custom code is written for your system Matrix Gemini LIMS is highly configurable, but based on a standard product core. This means that every LIMS we implement can match the customers specific requirements. However, being based on a standard core every system we have shipped over the last 20 years is fully and readily upgradeable to the current version. The key to such a flexible product is the built-in configuration tools. The configuration tools are used to create the initial configuration at implementation and can be used subsequently by either Autoscribe or your own staff, with high level system access, to further configure or re-configure the system to keep it in step with changes to the laboratory workflow, business practices etc. Autoscribe Limited - Wellington House - Riseley Business Park - Basingstoke Road - Riseley - Berkshire - RG7 1NW Office +44 (0) 1189 840610 - Fax +44 (0) 1189 840611 - E-mail matrix@autoscribe.co.uk - Web www.autoscribe.co.uk Screen being configured Controls used in the displayed screen Control Properties Screen controls Screen options Autoscribe Limited - Wellington House - Riseley Business Park - Basingstoke Road - Riseley - Berkshire - RG7 1NW Office +44 (0) 1189 840610 - Fax +44 (0) 1189 840611 - E-mail matrix@autoscribe.co.uk - Web www.autoscribe.co.uk Founded in 1981, Autoscribe is a privately owned UK company based in Berkshire.
