Importância da automação no laboratório de análises clínicas, com ênfase nos exames bioquímicos

Abstract

The present work aimed to highlight the importance that laboratory automation has shown over the years in clinical analysis laboratories, presenting in a more emphatic way the tests performed by the clinical biochemistry sector. Being analyzed each analytical phase involved in the process of carrying out the exams. As the vacuum collection and the new tubes have provided greater sample integrity, the advantages presented in each step are evaluated. Comparing old methods such as a color palette for measuring absorbance, with the pro-efficiency of automated equipment involving liquid and dry chemistry, presenting greater reliability and reproducibility of the exams released, diagnosing systematic and random errors, minimizing them through the evolution of technology in laboratory automation. Emphasizing the need for qualified and trained professionals to operate this equipment. Presenting a view of how practice leads to greater interpretation and learning of theory.
