UNIConnect Unveils New PrecisionMDx LIS-LIMS Process Management Software Suite at AACC 2014

Chicago – (July 30, 2014) - UNIConnect announced the release of its new PrecisionMDx (PMDx) System for molecular laboratories. Building upon a history of software engineering and support for research, development and delivery in the "omic" sciences, PMDx represents dramatic innovation driven by experience gained from the interplay of client and vendor in the realm of molecular diagnostic test development. Early adopter clients of the new PMDx include Selah Genomics and Exosome Diagnostics.

The new PMDx system supports molecular diagnostic requirements of entrepreneurial molecular test development companies and the institutional services of molecular pathology departments in community, private, and academic medical centers. Core PMDx functionality can also be embedded with medical device manufacturers and integrates with legacy laboratory information systems.

UNIConnect’s PrecisionMDx (PMDx) has been developed for laboratory professionals seeking a focused solution for CAP/CLIA certified molecular laboratory operations. The software platform is ideal for MDx, CDx and PGx pursuits. It can be deployed as standalone software or integrated with existing LIS/LIMS and billing infrastructure. Based on the powerful UNIFlow™ Laboratory Process Management Platform, UNIConnect specializes in rapid implementation, allowing its users to accelerate time-to-market, and manage virtually any aspect of their go-to-market plans.

“UNIConnect has enabled discovery and progress in the "omic" sciences from the company’s beginning. UNIFlow’s architecture is structurally compatible with the key sciences driving medical advancement in our era,” UNIConnect founder William S. Harten said. “PMDx represents the next -- though certainly not the last -- UNIConnect advancement to empower investigators and clinicians to accelerate their progress towards more exact diagnostics and therapeutics for patients. Moreover, PMDx delivers precise management of processes as well as exacting traceability of all sample details with robust reporting capabilities throughout.”

PMDx supports molecular requirements from sample entry to final report, supports molecular diagnostics companies at the enterprise level, and can connect labs both regionally and globally. Designed to manage the depth and complexity of "omic" sciences, PMDx is adaptable to accommodate change in this dynamic field and can be installed locally or hosted in the cloud.

The system offers essential molecular diagnostics functionality including accessioning, extraction, quantitation, PCR, analysis and reporting; yet is intended to be configured to meet precise process requirements of specific client labs including powerful reporting. PMDx supports labs engaged in hematology-oncology, infectious disease, molecular genetics, and pharmacogenomics – the key areas served by molecular diagnostics. In keeping with UNIConnect’s software product design philosophy, PMDx is highly flexible for client teams who wish to make future modifications to their PMDx systems.
