AUTOMATED CLINICAL CHEMISTRY ANALYZER
Advantages Disadvantages
Increased number of tests/technologist Methods vary with instrument type
• Each technologist can perform more Cost of equipment, maintenance,
tests during a period of time amount of QC
Minimizes variations in results Techs must be kept knowledgeable &
• Eliminate errors in pipetting, careful in set-up and operations
calculations
Small sample size and reagent volumes

AUTOMATED ANALYZERS
❑Complete laboratory automation or total laboratory ❑Semi automated system
automation (TLA) • The samples and reagents are mixed and read
• Automation system in pre-analytical, analytical, manually.
post-analytical process • Measure only few parameters
• Integrated work cells
❑Single-channel analysis: single test for all samples
❑Fully integrated automated analyzer
❑Multi-channel analysis: multiple tests per each
• Integrate work cells in analytical process sample
• Measure multiple parameters
❑Fully automated system (work cell)
• Automation in analytical system (no technologists)
• Measure multiple parameters

BASIC TYPES OF AUTOMATED ANALYZER
❑ Continuous flow analysis
❑ Discrete analysis
8
DISCRETE ANALYSIS
• Each sample is contained in a separate reaction vessel.
• Run multiple tests one sample at a time or multiple samples one test at a time called
RANDOM sampling
Example:
― Kodak Ektachem
Dimension RxL

AUTOMATED CLINICAL CHEMISTRY SYSTEMS
Wet reagent systems
• Reagents come ready to use or lyophilized and must be reconstituted.
• System include batch and profile analyzers or stat analyzers.
Example: Beckman coullter, vitros, Roche, Hitachi, etc.
10
AUTOMATED CLINICAL CHEMISTRY SYSTEMS
Dry reagent systems
• Reagents can be tablets or found on cellulose fibers located on strips, cards, or
layered on film.
• Reagents easy to handle, store well, and have fairly long shelf life.
Examples: Vitros, Seralyzer, Kodak Ektachem, ChemPro, Dupont Analyst.

AUTOMATED CLINICAL CHEMISTRY: TERMS
➢Throughput
• Maximum samples that can be processed in 1 hour
➢ Dwell time
• Minimum amount of time required to get test result after sampling
✓Varies greatly with instrument
✓Can be important consideration when selecting instrument

4. Random access analysis: Choose the test to be performed for each sample.
5. Single channel (test) analysis: one test for all samples (may be batch analyzer or sequential analyzer)
6. Multiple channel (test) analysis: multiple tests in each sample (may be batch analyzer or random-access analyzer
or parallel analyzer).
7. STAT analysis: sample loaded and added at any time, with option for urgent samples. Any or multiple assay run on
STAT sample. 13

2. Proportioning pump and manifold –introduces (mixes) samples with reagents to effect the proper chemical reaction to
be read by the colorimeter. This pump are connected with reagent chamber at 4-8 oC.
3. Dialyzer –separates interfacing substances from the sample material by permitting selective passage of sample
components through a semipermeable membrane. 14

4. Heating bath –heat fluids continuously to exact temperature (37oC). Temperature is critical for color development.
5. Colorimeter –monitors the changes in optical density of the fluid stream flowing through tubular flow cell. Color
intensities (optical density) is proportional to substance concentrations, are converted to equivalent electrical voltages.
6. Recorder –convert electrical signal from the colorimeter into a graphic display on a moving chart.

QUALITY CONTROL AND MAINTENANCE
Preventive maintenance
• Analyzer maintenance is performed according to the manufacturer’s
instructions
• Maintain records
18
QUALITY CONTROL AND MAINTENANCE
Calibration
1. Calibration of machines: Done by engineers
Done for
- Measuring parts: Aspiration probes, Temperature
- Optical parts: Photodetectors & Light source
2. Calibration of analytes: Done by technicians
Done for
- All analytes at schedule intervals as decided by
Lab
- During lot change
- Post maintenance & post repair of instrument
- QC failure as part of corrective action
19
QUALITY CONTROL AND MAINTENANCE
Controls
❑ Internal quality control sample; Daily basis
• Before running patient sample
• Following preventive maintenance
• Following repair of machine
• As per QC protocol of lab
20
PRE-ANALYTICAL PHASE
• Specimen collection
- Phlebotomists
• Specimen transport
- Right tube for right tests
- Proper patient label
- Correct draw site
- Specimen transport
- Delivery boy (Lab boy)
- Pneumatic-tube system
21
ANALYTICAL PHASE
• Sample handling
– Important to check the specimen for hemolysis, lipemia,
clots or fibrin
22
POST-ANALYTICAL PHASE
• Decreases opportunity for error
• Auto-verification
✓ Analytic modules connected to laboratory
information system (LIS) via process controller.
✓ All modules communicate with one PC.
✓ Minimize the burden on the LIS
