Automated Quantitative Biochemistry
1963 - 1978
Automation and quantitative approaches rapidly generalized across biomedical analysis, with chromatography and mass spectrometry enabling precise quantification of biomolecules in fluids, brain tissue, and cerebrospinal fluid, often employing internal standards to improve traceability. Simultaneously, automation and computational analysis advanced biomedical imaging and signals, enabling automated differential leukocyte counting, ECG computation, and EMG/biomedical image processing, while electrochemical and enzymatic methods broadened clinical chemistry and standardized lipid and serum biochemistry tests. Historical Significance: The core breakthroughs included the introduction of modular software for automated biomedical data analysis; two new quantitative protein staining procedures for electrophoretic strips enabling densitometry; highly sensitive fluorimetric methods for trace catecholamines in plasma and tissues; and automated high-throughput analyzers that catalyzed standardized laboratory workflows. These innovations laid the foundation for modern biomedical informatics, proteomics, and routine laboratory automation.
• Chromatography and mass spectrometry–based quantification of biomolecules across fluids, brain tissue and CSF, often with internal standards to improve accuracy and traceability [1], [2], [10], [12], [13], [15], [16], [17], [18].
• Automation and computational analysis in biomedical imaging and signals, enabling automated differential leukocyte counting, white blood cell analysis, ECG computation, and EMG/biomedical picture processing [3], [7], [8], [11], [19].
• Electrochemical and enzymatic approaches expanded clinical chemistry, including electrode-based creatinine analysis and improved urea assays, reflecting diversification of biosensor technology [14], [20].
• Lipid and serum biochemistry automation for routine tests (serum cholesterol, phospholipids, bile acids) illustrating standardization of laboratory workflows [4], [5], [6].
