Trimetra is a Software development and consultancy company that specialises in providing
solutions to the Life Science market.
Our main product 'Logbook' is designed to address key areas within the laboratory
that are not currently captured electronically.

Chain of custody can relate to many tasks within a company – from as simple as tracking a piece of paper or to a more complex chain of custody e.g. tracking the request of a compound from the dispensary, recording and following the request, the individual stages of production of the item, collection and final receipt.
With Logbook’s electronic signature and audit trail facility using Logbook to keep an electronic chronological order of the chain of custody activities gives the time and cost saving benefits to quickly find where and who is responsible for an item at any time point.
Help speed up the QC checking by using the search facility to highlight missing or out of compliance values.
Using Logbook’s form designer you can design many different chain of custody forms for different areas and functions. Make them as simple or as complex as you want.
Use Logbook to act as your electronic chemical repository. Laboratories produce many types of chemical analysis information and data – raw data (e.g. Chemical Name, Chemical formula, Synonyms, CAS Number, key properties), processed data, observations, chemical structures, graphs, images, analytical reports, conclusions, references etc.
Use Logbook to store all or some of this information and/or documents and take advantage from all the benefits holding this information electronically offers –
- Centralise all your data electronically
- No legibility problems
- Tailor user security to allow specific data to be accessed outside of the department
- Limit user’s access to read or update the information.
- Multiple user access to the data from various places within the laboratory/country
- Quick and powerful search capability
Use Logbook to hold commonly used/referenced Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS). Store or create a link to stored MSDS.
Store or create a link to stored Certificate of Analysis (COA)
Logbook is flexible, fast and easy to setup.
Storing your incidents by year, by client, by product – you decide and you design.
Using Logbook’s form designer you can design as many different Incident report type forms and configure your own storage structure.
Use Logbook’s auto-generation record number feature to auto allocate the next available incident/reference number.
