The sample, tracked
Collection, barcode label, receipt at the bench, rejection with a reason, transfer between laboratories and dispatch. “Where is it?” has an answer at every point.
Laboratory
VitroBrix
From the request to an authorised report.
A sample has a life of its own — collected, labelled, received, sometimes rejected, sometimes sent elsewhere. VitroBrix follows it, then holds the result against the range that makes it mean something.
Results that carry their meaning
Each parameter is entered against a reference range that knows the patient’s age and sex, flags a high or low value, and marks a critical one so somebody acts on it.
A catalogue you own
Departments, sample types, containers, investigations, parameters, profiles and ranges are master data. Adding a test is configuration, not development.
The path of a sample
Eight steps, and a status that is always current
Each one hands to the next inside the same system, so nobody has to telephone the laboratory to find out where a sample has got to.
01
Requested
Raised from the chart or the counter, priced and queued to the laboratory in a single act.
02
Collected
Recorded against the right container and sample type for the investigation asked for.
03
Labelled
A barcode label printed at collection, so the tube and the request cannot drift apart.
04
Received
Booked in at the bench, or rejected with a reason that goes back to whoever collected it.
05
Entered
Parameters entered against ranges resolved for this patient, with derived values calculated.
06
Checked
High, low and critical values are flagged as they are entered rather than found later.
07
Authorised
Nothing reaches the chart until someone with the authority to release it does so.
08
Reported
The report is rendered from a template you designed, and returns to the chart that ordered it.
Capabilities
What the laboratory gets
Five areas, each of which exists because leaving it out is what turns a result into a phone call.
01
The sample lifecycle
The part most systems treat as a formality. Collection, labelling, receipt, rejection, transfer between laboratories and dispatch are each a recorded step with a person and a time against it.
- Collection
- Barcode labels
- Receipt
- Rejection with reason
- Transfer
- Dispatch
- Recap
02
Result entry
Parameters with their own units, methods and interpretation, entered against the range that applies to this patient — not a single range printed at the bottom of the page.
- Age & sex aware ranges
- High / low flags
- Critical values
- Derived values
- Units & methods
03
The catalogue
The investigations you offer, described once as master data and read by ordering, pricing, entry and reporting alike.
- Departments
- Sample types
- Containers
- Investigations
- Parameters
- Profiles
04
Reports
The report is designed in the same document builder the rest of the system uses, so its layout is yours rather than ours, and the version released is the version kept.
- Report designer
- Flags in print
- Versions
- Print & share
05
Work you send out
Investigations you do not run in-house are mapped to the laboratory that does, and the report comes back into the same record.
- Referral laboratories
- Per-test mapping
- Returned reports
The rest of the range
VitroBrix does not stand alone
Each PureBrix product is built on the same record and the same platform, so adding one later is a rollout rather than an integration.
