Laboratory clinical chemistry analyzers that require the manual insertion of reagents and/or samples into the instrument for each test. Most of these chemical analyzers are used to determine concentrations of analytes (e.g., cholesterol, glucose, electrolytes), to provide certain hematology values (e.g., hemoglobin concentrations), and to assay some therapeutic drugs (e.g., theophylline). Manual clinical chemistry analyzers are used as primary instrumentation, for small volume tests, or as backup for automated analyzers.
