may be purchased in bulk volume containers or in unit dose packaging as a convenience for stat testing on some analyzers

Answer 1

Wet system (Liquid)

Question 2

They may be bottled as lyophilized powder, which requires reconstitution with water or a buffer.

Answer 2

Dry system

Question 3

microscopically thin layers of dry reagents mounted on a plastic support.
Likely the size and thickness of a postage stamp.

Answer 3

Dry chemistry slide

Question 4

a viscous, inert, immiscible, nonwetting substance that coats the delivery system -coating on the sides of the delivery system prevents carryover

Answer 4

Fluorocarbon fluid

Question 5

Is the separation of each sample and accompanying reagents in a separate container.

Capability of running multiple tests one sample at a time or multiple samples one test at a time. They are the most popular and versatile analyzers

Answer 5

Discrete analysis (Beckman Coulter)

Question 6

The force generated by centrifugation to transfer and then contain liquids in separate cuvettes for measurement at the perimeter of a spinning rotor

Answer 6

Centrifugal analysis

Question 7

Liquids (reagents, diluents, and samples) are pumped through a system of continuous tubing.

Samples are introduced in a sequential manner, following each other through the same network.

Answer 7

Continuous flow
