The process whereby an analytical instrument performs many tests with only minimal involvement of an analyst
Automation
the controlled operation of an apparatus, process, or system by mechanical or electronic devices without human intervention
Automation
Type of analysis in which many specimens are grouped in the same analytical session
Batch analysis
The transport of a quantity of analyte or reagent from one specimen reaction into and contaminating a subsequent one
Carry-over
Type of analysis in which each specimen in a batch passes through the same continuous stream at the same rate and is subjected to the same analytical reactions
Continuous-flow analysis
Type of analysis in which the sample is aspirated into the sample probe and then is delivered, often with reagent, through the same orifice into a reaction cup or another container
Discrete Analysis
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 specimen
Multiple-channel analysis
Type of analysis in which all specimens
are subjected to a series of analytical processes at the same time and in a parallel fashion
Parallel analysis
The most common configuration of an
automated analyser, in which analyses are performed on a collection of specimens sequentially and each specimen is analyzed for a different selection of tests
Random-access analysis
Type of analysis in which each specimen in a batch enters the analytical process one after another, and each result or set of results emerges in the same order as the specimens are entered
Sequential analysis
Type of analysis in which each specimen is subjected to a single process so that only results for a single analyte are produced
Single-channel analysis
