Abstract

 The ultimate goal of clinical laboratories is to provide useful information to the patient care side of medicine. In this context, an individual test result is not valuable, and it can only contribute to patient treatment after being processed by laboratory inspection. Currently, due to the emergence of automatic analyzers, raw data are provided more reliably. Nonetheless, the design concept of current automatic analyzers are too outdated to construct the ideal clinical laboratory information system. The development of a new generation of automatic analyzers that could enable the provision of new clinical laboratory services is the next vital step.
