involvement of an analyst; also defined as thecontrolled operation of an apparatus, process, or
system by mechanical or electronic devices
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
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
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
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
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
analytical processes so that a set of test results is
obtained on a single specimens; also known as
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
multi test analysis.Point-of-Care Testing (POCT): A mode of testing in
which the analysis is performed at the site where

With automation, chances of manual errors have beenreduced due to automatic setting of different
parameters. Results thus obtained are accurate and
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
reliable.
The analyzers are computer based so they have self
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
monitoring features. They monitor the progress ofchemical reaction and indicate any abnormality.
Analyzers are easy to operate as most of the steps are
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
automatic
Work load in laboratory is finished in short duration.
Analyzers have digital display and give print out of
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
results. Manual calculations are thus eliminated.
Entire range of tests like cardiac, hepatic and renal
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
function can be performed by analyzers.With an automatic analyzer, physician and
patients develop a great amount of confidence in

the results.
