An interactive multi-station medical specimen analysis system for simultaneously analyzing a medical specimen at remote locations and accessing, for evaluation, the results of each of the analyses at a central laboratory is disclosed. The system comprises a server for storing databases. A central laboratory, interacts with the dedicated computers through the server to review, evaluate and either accept or reject specimen analyses. Communication means connect the server with the plurality of dedicated computers, laboratory computer and a centralized mainframe. Analytical instrument to dedicated computer interface software interprets the instrument language into the computer program language and the computer program language into the instrument language. Dedicated computer interactive means request analytical tests, transmit the test results to the server databases and receive and display data from the server databases. Laboratory computer interactive means acquire and display test results from the server databases, review and accept or reject the test results and transmit the acceptance or rejection to the server databases.
A method of interactively analyzing sample specimens and exchanging the analysis results between a plurality of user initiated remote analytical instruments having dedicated computers and a central laboratory to permit an operator at the laboratory to view and accept or reject the analysis results, said method comprising:
