    摘要: A sample holder for PCR processing. The sample holder includes a body with an inlet and outlet grooves formed alongside each other, a detection recess that is connected to the inlet and outlet grooves, and a fill port interconnected to both the inlet and outlet grooves, and a cover interfacing with the body to form an inlet channel interconnected to the fill port, a detection region interconnected to the inlet channel, and an outlet channel interconnected to the detection region and the fill port. The detection region is configured to receive a PCR solution from the fill port and replication occurs within the detection region via heating and cooling cycles. Thereafter, fluorescent emissions from tagged replicated DNA/RNA in the detection region are detected and measured. PCR stations, PCR station assemblies, PCR testing systems, and methods of operating a PCR testing systems are provided, as are other aspects.

    摘要: A method of analyzing diagnostic test orders includes analyzing diagnostic test orders from a plurality of medical providers; identifying a peer group of medical providers having one or more like characteristics from the plurality of medical providers; and determining whether at least one diagnostic test order includes an outlier test. One or more medical providers may be notified of the presence of an outlier test (a test ordered by, or not ordered by, the peer group). Other methods, apparatus, and systems are disclosed.
