<p>A system (10) for automatically testing biological fluids includes a network database (26) which holds test protocols and test results for identified samples. The system (10) tracks the samples by their identifier through the system to testing equipment (16) which is also coupled to the network (24). The system (10) records the tests performed and the times they were performed and monitors any reagents used in the test being run. In addition, the system (10) monitors any incubation of the samples and any results indicated by the test equipment (16). Information on the tests run on a particular sample, the reagents used and the results produced by the tests, are maintained a database and may be formatted into a report.</p> |
