Boca Biolistics is a Biorepository with a difference. It utilizes Xybion LIMS (formerly Matrix Gemini LIMS) to manage its repository and laboratory testing services as well as managing prospective customer sample requests and subsequent despatch of those sales orders through an ERP approach enabled by the power of the built-in configuration tools.
