Purpose and Meaning of the Conference
The improvement and development of chemistry, engineering and medical technology, and integrated laboratory automation system and information system has been changing the form and content of recent clinical laboratory. Auto analyzers, transportation systems and computing systems respectively have become necessary components for integrated clinical laboratory system, and the content and trend of clinical laboratory for medical care come to dramatically change.
Cherry Blossom Symposium concerns of the present situation, problem and prospect of automatization and robotization, and considers how clinical laboratory should be. The worldwide attendants such as a doctor, clinical technologist, researcher, system engineer, and manufacturer of instrument and reagent, who actively work at the front, will come and join, so it can be the unique chance for manufacturers to directly hear what the people concerned to clinical laboratory in the world think and what they are going to do. It is believed that if more and more people join discussion it can be the best opportunity to develop the Total Laboratory Automation (TLA) more in future.
The meaning that this international symposium will be held in Japan, in particular, is to announce the TLA of Japan where has become one of developed countries in this area, to argue about problems, and to grasp how clinical laboratory should be in future. In addition, reports that stimulate later development are gathered from wide area including R & D. These can be helpful for your information collection.
