Desires Objectives, Purposes of Automation in Clinical Microbiology

The technology which process microbiology samples without human assistance and better ergonomics is termed as automation. We are experiencing a new revolution of artificial intelligence via automation. Globally, researchers and microbiologists are upgrading their laboratories from conventional methods to total laboratory automation considering the increased awareness about impact of infectious diseases, rising sample load and lack of expertise of skilled manpower resources. This chapter discusses various purposes and defined objectives of automation.
