V6.0 extends existing functionality to provide more flexibility in the languages that are supported by the user interface

New LIMS is ideal for all manufacturing organizations including those in highly regulated industries such as pharmaceutical, medical device, and food production

Integration of field data collection and laboratory activities is especially useful in water, environmental, waste, and similar industries

The Bulk Sample Registration Module for Matrix Gemini provides a grid with spreadsheet-like data-entry functionality for registering large numbers of samples, bringing huge time saving benefits for users

Problem: Many service or contract laboratories need to process the same sets of samples on a regularly-scheduled basis. In addition, many processes within factories of various types require collection of samples at pre-set dates and times to ensure the quality of the product being produced. One example is collection of air and surface samples to test the sterility of rooms used in the production of pharmaceuticals, foods, and medical devices. Another example is collection of samples during beer production. The task of logging these samples into a LIMS (laboratory information management system) can be cumbersome and time-consuming and it is easy to miss collection of a scheduled sample. Although these are two entirely different scenarios, both require the same basic scheduling of multiple sample collections.
