Aliquot: A portion of a total amount of specimen

Analyzer Configuration: The format in which

analytical instrument are configured; available in

both open and closed system

Automation: The process whereby an analytical

instrument perform many tests with only minimal

involvement of an analyst; also defined as the

controlled operation of an apparatus, process, or

system by mechanical or electronic devices

without human intervention.
Batch Analysis: A type of analysis in which many

specimens are processed in the same analytical

session, or "run".

Centralized Testing: A mode of testing in which

specimens are transported to central, or "core"

facility for analysis

Core Laboratory: A type of centralized laboratory

to which sample are transported for analysis.
Multiple-Channel Analysis: A type of analysis in

which each specimen is subjected to multiple

analytical processes so that a set of test results is

obtained on a single specimens; also known as

multi test analysis.

Point-of-Care Testing (POCT): A mode of testing in

which the analysis is performed at the site where

healthcare is provided; also known as bedside,

near-patient, decentralized and off-site testing






With automation, chances of manual errors have been

reduced due to automatic setting of different

parameters. Results thus obtained are accurate and

reliable.

The analyzers are computer based so they have self

monitoring features. They monitor the progress of

chemical reaction and indicate any abnormality.

Analyzers are easy to operate as most of the steps are

automatic

Work load in laboratory is finished in short duration.
Analyzers have digital display and give print out of

results. Manual calculations are thus eliminated.

Entire range of tests like cardiac, hepatic and renal

function can be performed by analyzers.

With an automatic analyzer, physician and

patients develop a great amount of confidence in

the results.
