Problems solved by technology

However, while for some applications a centralized topology may be useful, for other applications where, for example, large amounts of data need to be exchanged between a subset of instruments, the centralized communication topology has the potential to become overloaded. risk

Embodiment Construction

[0044] Certain terms will be used in this patent application, and the expressions in this patent application should not be interpreted as being restricted by the specific terms selected, but related to the general concepts behind the specific terms.

[0045] The term'laboratory instrument' as used herein includes any device or device component operable to perform one or more processing steps / workflow steps on one or more biological samples. The expression'processing step' thus refers to physically performed processing steps, such as centrifugation, pipetting, aliquoting, reagent preparation, quality control QC preparation, sequencing library preparation, incubation, sample analysis, and also sample transportation. The term ‘laboratory instrument’ covers pre-analytical instruments, post-analytical instruments and analytical instruments as well as transport systems or their modules. Furthermore, the term laboratory instrument includes data processing devices configured to process a...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for operating a laboratory system. A method for operating a laboratory system comprising laboratory instruments and a laboratory information system is presented. The method comprises grouping laboratory instruments into instrument cluster(s) and providing a cluster manager thereto. The plurality of laboratory instruments publishes their instrument resource descriptions. Each cluster manager maintains an inventory of cluster resources and publishes a list of processing capabilities of the instrument cluster. The laboratory information system assigns processing of test order(s) to instrument clusters. Each cluster manager assigns resources of the laboratory instruments corresponding to test orders from the laboratory information system in view of the inventory of cluster resources. Each laboratory instrument carries out the processing step(s) on the biological sample as instructed by the cluster manager.

Description

Technical field [0001] This application relates to a computer-implemented method for operating a laboratory system for processing biological samples. The application further relates to a laboratory system for processing biological samples. Background technique [0002] In vitro diagnostic tests have an important impact on clinical decision-making, thereby providing doctors with critical information. [0003] In analytical laboratories, especially in clinical laboratories, a large number of analyses are performed on samples by the analysis system in order to determine the physiological state of the patient. Such analytical tests to be performed on biological samples are usually designated as test orders that are usually registered and managed in the laboratory information system. According to established laboratory procedures, the laboratory information system maintains a list of the resources of all instruments of the laboratory system, and in some cases maintains the current sta...
