Assay on FAQ's on Total Lab Automation

摘要

The purpose of the introduction of an automated laboratory system in one format or another is reducing the costs of the laboratory by cutting staff. Also speeding up the performance often is a goal. At the same time it is planned to increase the quality of the work done by using automated labelling and reading of documents. The use of vacuum tubes and the handling of these by the apparatus are raising the safety of the labwork. In this paper many aspects of the daily routines when using a TLA system are discussed. The aspects are collected during the discussions before and after the implementation of the Roche CLAS system in our laboratory. Some consequences were foreseen, and others came unexpectedly. But still the subjects form a point of discussion around the TLA systems. The most important message to be picked up is that one really has to consider all possible problems that could arise from the implementation of TLA.
