Abstract
Exemplary embodiments provides computer-implemented methods, mediums, and apparatuses configured to monitor the health of analytical chemistry systems. A monitoring system may be highly coupled to laboratory analytical instruments that it monitors. It may receive data and/or trends in the data as that data is generated by the instrument. Consequently, it can be configured to recognize when that data or trend signals a problem that needs to be corrected. A kiosk of the monitoring system may be configured to be in direct communication with the analytical chemistry system and to execute an action from the issue resolution structure to make the adjustment. Because the monitoring system is part of the direct physical control of the instrument(s), it can fix problems very quickly.
