In medicine, an Autoanalyzer is a diagnostic machine that measures amounts of several chemicals in a single sample of blood.

Autoanalyzers typically record levels of albumin, alkaline phosphatase, AST, blood urea nitrogen, bilirubin, calcium, cholesterol, creatinine, glucose, inorganic inorganic phosphorous, proteins and uric acid.

Widely used autoanalyzers include Berkman's Astra, Dupont's Automated Clinical Analyzer, Kodak's Ektachem 700, and Technicon's Multiple Analyzer and Multiple Sequential Screening Panel.

Chemical information extracted from blood is used to diagnosing several diseases of organs and the cardiovascular system, including those of the heart, lungs, liver, kidneys and blood.
