Key Features

User-friendly Front-end Interface: According to the vendor, AlchymiA provides a user-friendly front-end interface designed for different user roles, allowing them to access the necessary functionalities. The interface is optimized for keyboard use to potentially minimize operator stress and potentially maximize productivity.

Sample Monitoring and Tracking: The system includes a check-in feature that allows for the monitoring and tracking of samples throughout the workflow process. This feature aims to facilitate efficient sample management and potentially reduce the risk of errors or misplacements.

Customizable Worklists: AlchymiA offers customizable worklists that enable users to organize and prioritize tasks based on various criteria such as date, request, order of arrival, bar-code, and more. This flexibility aims to support efficient task management and potentially enhance productivity.

Comprehensive Quality Control Management: According to the vendor, AlchymiA provides a comprehensive quality control management tool that allows operators to customize control and calibration procedures. This feature supports the management of multiple control serums with expiration dates and the definition of expected value ranges or unknown serums.

Web-based Order Entry System: AlchymiA provides a web-based Order Entry system that allows peripheral units to submit requests and access related reports. During the request phase, the system captures patient demographic and administrative data, verifies their congruence, and acquires the requested tests. It accepts microbiological samples through barcode reading of pre-identified containers.

Powerful Result Validation Expert System: According to the vendor, AlchymiA includes a powerful and versatile Expert System for result validation that can be customized. This feature allows for separate validation of samples handled by different laboratories on a single report and supports automatic calculations, comments, and additional tests based on predefined rules.

Seamless Integration with Laboratory Analyzers: AlchymiA supports various communication protocols and connection modes for seamless integration with laboratory analyzers. The user interface is independent of the instrumentation in use and provides real-time monitoring of instrument status, sample progress, and error messages.

Inventory Management Solution: AlchymiA offers a comprehensive inventory management solution for laboratory stock, including lot management with expiration dates and consumption calculation based on workload. It supports barcode-based movement tracking, stock management, consumption statistics, and cost analysis.

Efficient Report Delivery: According to the vendor, AlchymiA calculates the report delivery date, taking into account factors such as holidays, and provides notifications for payment amounts and status. This feature aims to ensure timely report delivery to clients and potentially enhance customer satisfaction.

Integration with Microbiology Instruments: The system ensures the integration of microbiology instruments through an "auto-learning" feature, potentially reducing the need for manual alignment between LIS and instruments. This feature aims to streamline the workflow and minimize the potential for errors during the integration process.
