Abstract

Disclosed herein are instruments, systems and methods for performing automated integrated analysis of both clinical chemistry assay and immunoassay tests on a sample. The system includes a common process subsystem module; a clinical chemistry analyzer module; an immunoassay analyzer module; and a plurality of additional modules. The common process subsystem module is configured to position one or more reaction vessels containing aliquots of the sample for analysis by the clinical chemistry analyzer module, the immunochemistry analyzer module or both analyzer modules. The included immunochemistry analyzer module of the instrument and system is configured to perform multiplex FRET analysis on homogeneous solutions, thereby increasing the flexibility, throughput and robustness of the resultant instrument and systems.
