Contract Laboratories Services

Contract Laboratories  are one of the larger market segments that have adopted Matrix Gemini LIMS - why?

Flexibility – any LIMS must be able to capture, store and report a very wide range of materials and tests.  The test formats and any associated limits or specifications must be user maintained without needing to contact the software developers or implementers.

Matrix Gemini is not only a LIMS – it will function as a business management system as well. For example, Matrix Gemini will allow the creation of quotations, order booking, allocation of appropriate prices and the production of invoices either directly or in conjunction with a corporate accounts system. The pricing part of the system is completely configurable allowing discount structures based on customer, number of samples submitted, turnaround times requested and more. An example benefit is that Matrix Gemini can help by monitoring profitability right down to the test level.

Matrix Gemini is a dual desktop/web system and therefore customers of contract laboratories can be given controlled access for the purposes of registering samples, checking on the work status and obtaining reports, for example. This functionality will reduce the number of phone calls and e-mails sent into the contract laboratory. Please note that this access facility could be limited in any way that the contract laboratory decides e.g. regular and large customers only.

Composite samples are often encountered in a contract laboratory particularly when the test results are likely to show “not detected”. It is a means of reducing both the test load and the cost to the customer.
