A new case study released by Autoscribe Informatics (A Xybion Company) highlights how the North Dakota State University Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory (NDSU VDL) has successfully implemented the Matrix Gemini Veterinary LIMS. The new system has revolutionized laboratory operations, enhancing efficiency and providing a more streamlined service for veterinarians, animal producers, and the public health sector across North Dakota, South Dakota, and Western Minnesota (USA).
Based in Fargo, North Dakota, the NDSU VDL offers various diagnostic services, including toxicology, bacteriology, virology, molecular diagnostics, pathology, parasitology, and serology. As an American Association of Veterinary Laboratory Diagnosticians (AAVLD) accredited laboratory, NDSU VDL provides critical support to veterinarians, animal producers, and public health officials to ensure the health and well-being of national herds, companion animals, and wildlife.
Before the implementation of Matrix Gemini LIMS, NDSU VDL was grappling with several challenges posed by its prior LIMS system. This system, which required significant time for maintenance and updates, was causing inefficiencies and bottlenecks. To ensure laboratory optimization, Matrix Gemini was chosen as the solution. The need for a modern, configurable system to manage the complexities of veterinary diagnostics, including antibiotic susceptibility testing, and support their high-volume operations was evident. The introduction of Matrix Gemini LIMS has transformed their operations, enabling a nearly paperless workflow and interfacing seamlessly with key analytical instruments to enhance data accuracy and reduce manual data entry.
Key benefits of Autoscribe’s LIMS include a 90% reduction in paper usage, improved sample tracking, and seamless integration with vital analytical instruments. This has led to more efficient operations, faster result turnaround times, and enhanced reporting accuracy. The web portal feature has benefited local veterinarians, allowing real-time access to test results and improving patient care. The system’s configurability allows NDSU VDL to adapt quickly to evolving business needs without waiting for vendor updates.
The LIMS administrator said, “laboratory needs are always dynamic, so it is great we can add fields and make changes ourselves, without waiting for the LIMS vendor to release another version of the software or make the changes for us.”
The success of Matrix Gemini LIMS at NDSU VDL is a testament to the effectiveness of the system in addressing the complex needs of veterinary diagnostic laboratories. Autoscribe Informatics continues to demonstrate its commitment to providing cutting-edge solutions that enhance laboratory operations and drive efficiency. The successful implementation at NDSU is a clear example of Autoscribe’s commitment in action.
