Automation
12:55 PM
Most laboratories however small, have now resorted to using
computers to handle the data. However, most laboratories still use computers
only for analytical process. Low end systems now offer basic automation like
pipetting and dispensing of blood, body fluids and reagents. These also help in
processing of raw data to give end results. The high end instruments offer a
mind boggling array of features and are extremely user friendly. Most of these
instruments can be interfaced with the laboratory information system [LIS]
facilitating reporting and previous data retrieval. Computerization has
significantly improved integration of laboratory instruments, facilitates
communication between the laboratory and patients, laboratory and referring
physicians.
