1. Relieve the operator from the task of entering demographic data by
downloading that data from a host.
2. Process samples quickly, efficiently, and accurately.
3. Upload sample results with corresponding demographic data to the LIS for
distribution to authorized personnel.

6. When processing is finished, verify that all entries have been deleted from the
Work List, indicating that all samples were successfully matched to their
corresponding entries.
