Matrix Gemini Biobank Manager LIMS
Biorepository management systems allow the storage and retrieval of biospecimens, and associated data, to exacting regulatory requirements. Biorepositories are a key element in a growing number of organizations in biotechnology, pharmaceutical and medical research. They require tight regulation and security as they contain bio-samples from patient biopsy, surgery or other procedures, often with associated patient data including their medical conditions and background.
Whether you are collecting organ tissue, blood, urine, skin cells or other materials the Biobanking LIMS developed by Autoscribe Informatics will manage your collecting, processing, and storage of the specimens. The solution enables compliant recording of test data and interpretive information, analysis of results, and distribution of data and findings to stakeholders. All this is achieved using the extremely capable and configurable Biobanking LIMS, whilst maintaining quality, accuracy, integrity, capacity, efficiency, confidentiality, security and regulatory compliance.
Key Biobanking LIMS Features:
- Track and manage studies, associated biobank specimens and containers
- Record sample testing and interpretation of results
- Manage patient consent for all biospecimens
- Configure workflows to fit your exact needs using a graphical interface (no software coding required)
- Built-in security restricts access to authorized personnel, as required
- All actions automatically recorded in an audit trail
- Sample storage and movement is logged, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements
- Web browser or desktop user interfaces ensure the widest possible compatibility
ISBER Best Practices
Matrix Gemini Biobank Manager has been specifically developed to help biorepositories follow the ISBER Best Practices, and yet be highly adaptable.
Key ISBER Best Practices include:
- Allocating and placing specimens
Specify container type and multi-level hierarchies as you need, with no limits - Patient consent management
Record and manage patient and specimen consent information - Specimen tracking, retrieval and shipping
Record min/max shipping temperature and other key data as required - Two-step specimen moves that mimic real life processes
Plan and confirm single, multiple or group specimen storage and moves - Management and calibration of equipment
Log maintenance and calibration records of all laboratory equipment (including freezers) - Environmental monitoring to spot check fridge and freezer conditions
Track measured storage temperatures across the biobank - Specimen location audits
Ensure that specimens are where they should be through randomized location auditing - QA preventive and corrective action management to log actions and issues
Ensure all non-conformances are logged, tracked and corrected - Record and manage required staff competency and training
Automated staff competency checks ensure only trained staff perform key steps
The highly configurable nature of Matrix Gemini Biobank Manager makes it suitable for a wide range of studies, clinical trials, cohort collections and research projects. Manage the study, cover the logistics and the inventory, track patient consent and custody, and annotate specimens with information and findings all with a single comprehensive solution.
