Analysis system for analyzing biological samples with multiple operating environments

摘要

The invention provides for an analysis system (100, 200, 300) for biological samples and (286) comprises at least one analyzer (102, 102', 102", 102"') with an analytical unit (108) for analyzing the biological samples. Each analyzer comprises an analyzer controller (AC) (106). The analysis system further comprises an analyzer data management system (ADMS) (104) operable for receiving a selection (238) of an operating environment chosen from multiple operating environments (112, 120, 252, 254, 256). The ADMS switches the analysis system to the selected operating environment. Each operating environment provides an operating system (114, 112, 258, 260, 262) for implementing an analyzer control system (ACS) (116, 124, 264, 266, 268) and an operating system (132, 142, 220, 222, 224) for implementing a laboratory data management system (LDMS) (134, 144, 226, 228, 230). The ACS is for controlling the analytical unit to obtain the analysis result. The ACS provides the analysis result to the LDMS.
