Abstract
The name “laboratory medicine” is the product of evolution of clinical chemistry, clinical biochemistry, clinical pathology, etc. The aim is to encompass all the directions of a quickly developing and expanding diagnostic field. Our art is very much dependent on the recent technical and biochemical advances. The aim is to measure more molecules from smaller samples, sometimes within the shortest possible time at the right place with appropriate quality control. We live in the advent of genomic era, and doubtless significant advances will take place during the decade. Now the problem is not to producing data, but to interpret them in an intelligent way. Nevertheless, the expansion of pharmacogenomics and genetic testing aiming prevention are quickly expanding fields. Bioinformatics will develop very fast. Information technology will help to bring data faster and in far greater quantities to doctors as the home monitoring devices develop. Nanotechnology will help the development of smaller point of care type devices. In general, point of care type testing as well as the home utilities will occupy a large area in diagnostic testing. Automata technologies not only account for a broader spectra of investigations but also help to improve pre-analytical, analytical and even post analytical fields of diagnostics.
