Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An analysis system for analyzing biological samples, such as body fluids, methods implemented by the analysis system, and a computer program product for implementing the analysis system are disclosed. The system may include first and second lab devices, at least one of the lab devices may have a user identification component for identifying a user, a device identification component for identifying the lab device, and an interface component for sending a user identifier of the identified user and a device identifier of the lab device. The system may include a server computer having a server interface component for receiving the user identifier and the device identifier, and a processing component for determining a step of a workflow to be executed by the identified user, wherein the server interface component is operable to send a signal being indicative of a determined workflow to the lab device identified by the device identifier.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An analysis system for a user to analyze biological samples comprising: a mobile device; a first lab device; a second lab device; and a server computer which assigns a first set of steps of a workflow that is read from a storage component to the first lab device and a second set of steps of the workflow to the second lab device, wherein: at least one of the first lab device and the second lab device comprises a user identification component for iden…
