Automation of Medical Analytics 1200-2CHMMO2P1
The topics discussed during the meetings include issues related to:
*the principles of automation in pre-, post-, and analytical stages,
*the theoretical foundations of clinical analyzers,
*design solutions used in commercially available clinical analyzers intended for clinical chemistry, immunochemistry, urinalysis, hematology, transfusiology, coagulation studies, microbiology, and molecular diagnostics,
*the concept of miniaturization of analytical procedures (microfluidics, Lab-on-a-Chip, Lab-on-a-Foil, Lab-on-Paper/Paper-based Analytical Devices).

Assessment criteria
The proseminar is completed with an individual design project in which each student presents their own concept for designing a prototype of a clinical analyzer according to the criteria provided by the instructor.
Students participate in 15 hours of proseminar sessions, 5 hours of consultations, 10 hours of independent study based on materials provided by the instructor, and 10 hours of project work constituting the course assessment. One unexcused absence is permitted.
Practical placement
No
