Automated analysis of exam questions / VERIFIED
first automated analyzer - CORRECT ANSWER - auto analyzer. by technicon. a continuous flow, single
channel, sequential batch analyzer. provides a single test result on ~40 samples/hr
second generation: simultaneous multiple analyzer (SMA) - CORRECT ANSWER - produce 6-12 of the
exact same test results simultaneously at rate of 360-720 tests/hr. every patients had to have the same
tests. multiple channels working synchronously
first centrifugal analyzer - CORRECT ANSWER - spin-off technology from NASA space research
alternative to continuous flow technology
look like disks. sample is placed in the disk center and centrifuge. the sample would separate out to
different areas of reagent and spectrophotometer would go around and read each of the different spots
in the disk
sophisticated computer hardware and software for data handling
