Autoscribe Informatics develops and distributes business, scientific, and laboratory informatics software solutions.

History

Autoscribe Informatics was founded in 1981 as a privately-owned company based in Berkshire, England.[1]

The North American distribution and support team for Matrix Gemini was Zumatrix, Inc., but Zumatrix was absorbed into a new Autoscribe subsidiary "Autoscribe Informatics Inc." at the beginning of 2012, giving Autoscribe Informatics a direct presence in the U.S.[2]

Autoscribe Informatics also has a worldwide distributor network including "PT Agryiya Analitika" in Indonesia covering SE Asia, "SeerPharma PTy Ltd" in Australia, Da Vinci Laboratory Solutions B.V. in Benelux, and Laboratory Information Services Middle East in UAE. [3]

Technology and products

Matrix LIMS product line

Matrix Gemini is a configurable laboratory information management system (LIMS) solution that helps laboratories "to accurately manage large volumes of data to strict standards, while at the same time constantly evolve to improve efficiency, automation and turn-around times."[4] One of the main features of this software is a set of configuration tools designed to add greater flexibility to security and workflow applications.[5] The configuration tools are graphical, requiring no software programming or scripting knowledge to use them, making them extremely user friendly. The word "Gemini" refers to the dual user interface of desktop or web browser. Any changes in configuration are instantly reflected in both interfaces. [6]

Matrix Express is a slimmer version of Matrix Gemini, one "for smaller laboratories or as an introductory LIMS in larger organizations."[7]

Matrix Tracker is a tracking application that "allow[s] you to setup and modify the workflows, screens and menus to meet detailed requirements."[8]

Matrix Study Management is software that acts as "a stability management system for complete control of stability studies for a variety of industries"[9] and features the ability to manage stability storage room operations, inventory, audit trail generation, and protocol design and approval.

Matrix BIMS product line

Autoscribe Informatics also provides several Business Information Management Systems (BIMS) [10] including:

Quality Management Suite - A suite of quality tools to manage assets, custoemr feedback, staff competency tracking, document management, corrective and preventive action management and audit planning.

Support Management System - A configurable system for the complete management of all helpdesk support functions to help companies track support problems and manage them through to resolution.

Matrix Support Management System (SMS) is designed to help companies track support problems and manage them through to resolution.

Issue Tracker - designed to allow issues/problems/complaints to be logged and actions assigned to yourself or to other people.


Features

The following feature list(s) is/are derived solely from public, freely-available online information the vendor provides. A lack of a "Y" does not necessarily mean that the product doesn't have that feature. The lack of a "Y" could mean:
  • the vendor chose to not put relevant feature information online despite its existence in the product.
  • the vendor chooses to make the feature information available only to those who create an account or call/e-mail.
  • the feature information exists online to the public, but a URL could not be found to cite the existence of the feature.
  • the feature does not exist for the product.
A vendor's product may receive more confirmed features with the addition of more public information to the vendor's site and/or by providing a URL to a page or document that can act as a citation for the existence of the feature. Prospective buyers are highly recommended to contact the vendor directly to verify features as this list isn't authoritative, and product upgrades and changes happen rapidly in some cases.
