The first clinical microbiology laboratory in the United States adopted total automation for bacteriology processing in 2014. Since then, others have followed with installation of either the BD Kiestra TLA or the Copan WASPLab. This article discusses commercially available automated systems in the United States; why automation is needed; and quality improvements, efficiency, and cost savings associated with automation. After learning how these systems are used, gains and losses experienced, and how one can afford the most expensive equipment ever purchased for clinical microbiology laboratories, the question is, how can one afford not to purchase one of these microbiology automation systems?
2014年，美国首个临床微生物学实验室在细菌学检测流程中采用了全自动化操作。自那时起，其他实验室也纷纷效仿，安装了BD Kiestra TLA或Copan WASPLab系统。本文将探讨美国市场上现有的自动化系统；为何需要自动化；以及自动化带来的质量提升、效率提高和成本节约。在了解了这些系统的使用方式、所经历的得失，以及如何负担得起为临床微生物学实验室购置的有史以来最昂贵的设备之后，问题来了，人们又如何负担不起购买这些微生物学自动化系统中的某一款呢？
