Every site on one record
One clinic or a whole network reports into a single, multi-tenant record, so you run the whole community service from one place instead of chasing spreadsheets per location. See multi-site administration.
Home / Community & distributed diagnostics
Testing pushed out to the community, governed like a lab.
As testing moves out of the acute lab and into pharmacies, GP practices, community diagnostic centres, virtual wards and mobile units, the hard part is keeping every site connected and accountable. Catenix connects them all back to one record, with the same quality control and audit trail, wherever the test is run. Your analysers stay the ones you already use.
How it works across sites
Many locations, one connected record.
In
Devices across every site
Pharmacies, GP practices, community diagnostic centres, virtual wards and mobile units, on the connections your instruments already use: HL7, POCT1-A2 or ASTM.
Through
Catenix connects and holds
Results land against the right patient automatically. If a site drops offline, an encrypted on-site spool holds the data and forwards it when the connection returns. Nothing is lost, nothing is re-keyed.
Out
One record, full oversight
Every result feeds one record with per-site quality, activity and audit visible across the whole network, and pushes on to your LIS or EHR where you have one.
What Catenix does, and doesn't
Catenix moves, stores and displays the result a device produced, together with who ran it, on what, and when. It does not interpret results, derive outcomes, flag clinical values or provide decision support. Clinical interpretation stays with the clinician and the instrument, wherever the site is.
What it changes for a distributed service
Care closer to the patient, without losing the trail.
Works offline, syncs later
The on-site gateway keeps testing running in a van, a home visit or a site with poor connectivity, holding results locally and forwarding them when the link is back. See how connectivity works.
Lab-grade governance everywhere
QC, operator competency and a tamper-evident audit trail apply at every site the same way, so a result from a pharmacy is as accountable as one from the main lab.
What you get
Connect and govern at scale, in any setting.
Built with hands-on clinical-biochemistry expertise, so quality holds up whether a test is run in a clinic, a pharmacy or the back of a van.
- Multi-site oversight: quality, activity and audit across every location in one view, with roles per site.
- Offline-tolerant capture: an encrypted on-site spool holds results and forwards them when connectivity returns.
- QC at every site: statistical quality monitoring applied consistently, not left to each location.
- Feeds your central systems: results flow into your LIS or EHR over HL7 where you have one.
- Exportable audit trail: a clean record for governance, complaints and inspection across the network.
- Regional data residency & GDPR-aligned: secure, with role-based access and HTTPS throughout.
For community and distributed diagnostics
Governed like a lab, wherever the test happens.

What community services ask first.
Can Catenix run at a site that has no laboratory system?
Yes. Catenix can be the working record for a pharmacy, GP practice or community site with no LIS, capturing results, quality control and the audit trail on the spot. Where a central lab or LIS exists, Catenix feeds it over HL7 so every community result lands in the system you already run.
What happens if a community or mobile site loses connectivity?
The on-site gateway holds results locally in an encrypted spool and forwards them once the connection returns, so a testing round in a van, a home visit or a remote clinic is never lost and nothing has to be re-entered later.
Can we oversee many community sites from one place?
Yes. Catenix is multi-tenant and multi-site by design. One clinic or a whole network reports into a single record with per-site oversight, so quality, activity and audit are visible across every location at once.
Does Catenix interpret results or flag abnormal values?
No. Catenix carries the status and flags your analysers produce, verbatim. It does not interpret results, re-calculate values or provide clinical decision support. Interpretation, validation and authorisation remain with the clinician.
