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

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 a presence in the U.S.[1]

History

Technology and products

Matrix Gemini, Matrix Express, and Matrix Tracker

Matrix Gemini is a configurable laboratory information management system (LIMS) solution that "can be used in a wide variety of laboratories, both in size and application."[2]

Matrix Express is a slimmer version of Matrix Gemini, one that "requires minimal resources to implement."[3]

Matrix Tracker is a tracking application "that can be configured to meet the precise requirements of your application by configuring the core software."[4]

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.
