History

Sometime in 2021, the company removed its Shire Genetic Database from its website^[1] and added a quality management system called iPassport.

Prior offerings

Shire Genetic Database was the predecessor to the iGene genetic database software, running on MSAccess.^[1]

Technology and products

iGene and iPassport

iGene is a LIS-like genetic database tool "with a focus on the requirements of genetic disciplines around the world."^[2]

iPassport is a quality management system (QMS) "designed specifically for healthcare laboratories to help digitise, streamline and improve the day to day management of quality and compliance."^[3]

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.
