AUTOMATION

Question 1

Laboratory automation is the process by which an instrument automatically performs tasks

Answer 1

AUTOMATION

Question 2

Now described as a broader process wherein multiple devices, often linked together by Laboratory Information System (LIS), are capable of automating pre-analytic, analytic, and post-analytic phases of testing.

Answer 2

AUTOMATION

Question 3

• Specimen is aspirated through the sample probe into a continuous reagent stream
• Reagent is pumped through a system of continuous coiled tubing which is responsible for the mixing of the reagent and
  sample

Answer 3

CONTINUOUS FLOW ANALYZERS

Question 4

Samples will flow through a common pathway and reactions are separated via air bubbles

Answer 4

CONTINUOUS FLOW ANALYZERS

Question 5

specimens are separated by air bubbles allowing batch analysis to be performed

Answer 5
