Automated analyzer
Automated analyzer An automated analyser is a medical laboratory instrument designed to measure different chemicals and other characteristics in a number of biological samples quickly, with minimal human assistance. These measured properties of blood and other fluids may be useful in the diagnosis of disease. Basic approaches to automated analysers Continuous flow analysers Centrifugal analysers Discrete auto analysers Dry chemical analysers Continuous flow analyzers (nearly out of date) Liquids (reagents, diluents and samples) are pumped through a system of continuous tubing.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. Series of air bubbles at regular intervals serve as separating and media. The internal diameter of the tubing and the rate of flow determine the volumes of sample prior to mixing with the reagents and the turn around time of the result. -An oil heating bath is used to promote color development or the completion of enzy
