Interactive remote sample analysis system

An interactive multi-station specimen analysis system for simultaneously analyzing a specimen at least one remote location and accessing the results of each of the analyses at a central laboratory, said system comprising:

• a. a server where the server allows the retrieval and storage of data residing on databases within the server;
• b. a plurality of analytical instruments each interacting with a remote computer at each remote location, where the remote computer activates and interacts with each analytical instrument and serves as an interface between the analytical instrument and the server;
• c. a laboratory computer where the laboratory computer interacts with the remote computer through the server in order to review, evaluate and accept or reject specimen analyses, wherein a network interconnects the server, each remote computer, the laboratory computer and a centralized computer;
• d. an analytical instrument to remote computer interface to interpret the instrument language into the computer program language and the computer program language into the instrument language;
• e. a remote computer interactive means for requesting and transmitting data from and to the server databases, and receiving and displaying data from the server databases;
• and
• f. a laboratory computer interactive means for acquiring and displaying data from the server databases and upon receipt, reviewing the data received from the server databases for acceptance or rejection.
