23
Q

It uses force generated by centrifuge to transfer specimen and reagents

A

Centrifugal analyzer

24
Q

Measures only the tests requested on samples; allow stat and random acces

A

Discrete analyzer

25
Q

Principle of dry slide technology

A

Reflectance photometry

26
Q

Is the measurement of light reflected from solid surfaced

A

Reflectance photometry

27
Q

All samples are loaded at the same time and a single test is done on each sample

A

Batch testing

28
Q

More than one test is analyzed concurrently on a given specimen

A

Parallel testing

29
Q

Any test can be performed on a sample at any sequence

A

Random access testing

30
Q

Multiple tests are analyzed one after another

A

Sequential testing

31
Q

A system other than manufacturer’s reagents can be used

A

Open reagent system

32
Q

A system whete the operator can only use the manufacturer’s reagents

A

Closed reagent system

33
Q

Provides point to point delivery of specimens

A

Pneumatic tube delivery system

34
