Automation in clinical Laboratory

1. Automation Chanaka Lakshan BMS 10

2. Contents Define Uses Analysis step Types of automation Advantages Disadvantage

3. Define of automation Automation, the word coming from automatic so at clinical automation is a automatic equipment which done their process automatically. As this result Reduce our work load Non stop supervision Expense should be low because no need much technicians Time save The technicians are replaced by auto analyzer because it can work like a technicians.

4. Uses of automation Reduce human error Safety decrease laboratory costs improve turnaround time increase productivity Run more tests  Test in fewer sites Operate with fewer instruments.  Retain lower operating costs.  Employ relatively less skilled labor.  Use more automation in a paperless environment

5. Analysis step 1. Identifying the patient 2. Getting the correct sample 3. Identifying and proper labeling of the sample 4. Delivery of sample in proper storage condition and within time 5. Preparation of sample for test 6. Sample loading/aspirating 7. Analysis 8. Reporting 9. Entering in register

6. Sample collection of automation Measure the blood sugar just prick the finer with less pain The phlebotomist need not pull the syringe, blood gets sucked in due to negative pressure filling the vacuum

7. Sample delivery the purpose of using for reduce the human error and dely.

8. Sample preparation If we are doing sample preparation in automation, the work time and workload should be reduce so we don’t want to depend on the techniques peoples. The are 2 types of sample preparation Fully automatic Semi automatic

9. Analysis Continuous Flow Analyzer Tubing flow of reagents and patients samples Flow Injection Analyzer Centrifuge force to mix sample and reagents Dialyzer module Separate testing cuvets for each test and sample Random and/or irregular access Technicon Auto analyzer  II (AAII)  system Peristaltic Pump Module Auto Analyzer  is an automated analyzer using a special flow technique named "continuous flow analysis (CFA)" first made by the Technician Corporation. The instrument was invented 1957 by Leonard Skaggs, PhD and commercialized by Jack Whitehead's Technicon Corporation. The first applications were for clinical analysis, but methods for industrial analysis soon followed.

10. Advantage More test we can test at same time by using auto analyzer Error less Time save Cost low Reduce the workload More accurate

11. Disadvantage Reagent waste High cost reagent Maintance cost high job market going to be down
