Laboratory analyzers and methods of performing studies using laboratory analyzers

A laboratory system comprising:

• one or more laboratory analyzers;
• a display;
• and
• a controller configured to:
• generate instructions to display on the display one or more evaluation studies performable on the one or more laboratory analyzers;
• receive user input selecting an evaluation study to be performed on the one or more laboratory analyzers from the one or more evaluation studies;
• generate instructions configured to operate the one or more laboratory analyzers to perform the selected evaluation study;
• and
• execute the instructions in the one or more laboratory analyzers, wherein the instructions cause the one or more laboratory analyzers to perform an analysis on one or more test materials in response to the selected evaluation study.

A method of performing a study using one or more laboratory analyzers, comprising:

• displaying via a graphical user interface one or more evaluation studies performable on the one or more laboratory analyzers;
• receiving a selected evaluation study to be performed on the one or more laboratory analyzers from the one or more evaluation studies displayed via the graphical user interface;
• generating, by a processor, instructions configured to operate the one or more laboratory analyzers to perform the evaluation study;
• executing the instructions in the one or more laboratory analyzers, wherein the instructions cause the one or more laboratory analyzers to perform an analysis on a reagent, a quality control material, or a calibrator in response to the selected evaluation study;
• and
• generating a report in response to the analysis.
