title: New technologies in chemistry instrumentation: the basis for clinical chemistry automation.
abstract: The analytical and operational capabilities of clinical chemistry analyzers will continue to evolve as new technologies are developed. This will lead to increasingly greater automation and enhanced ease of use. However, it will be important for the laboratorian to understand these technologies in order to effectively integrate them and interact with them in the health care environment.
