title: Instrumentation for STAT analyses.
abstract: There are a wide variety of analyzers capable of performing STAT testing. Some are dedicated devices, while others are also used for routine work. The degree to which these instruments can meet the laboratory's requirements will depend on laboratory design, test menu, and volume. These factors should be considered when evaluating the appropriateness of a STAT facility and the selection of equipment.
