Microbiological Analyzers are medical devices that perform the analysis with minimal involvement from the technician, using automation in most steps of the test procedure, including automated reading of the test, reduction of test data, and generation of an interpretation of the test results; most analyzers include integral incubators, and some also automate the culture preparation process. Most of these analyzers use photometric, fluorimetric or video-image analysis methods and include sample containers (e.g., vials, trays), a reader module to scan the containers, and a computer module for control and data processing.
