Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide methods of performing a process for determining an item of interest in a sample. In one embodiment, a container for holding the sample is accepted in a process lane where a process step is selectively automatically performed on the sample in the container. The process step is selectively automatically performed on the sample in the container. A physical length of the process lane is selectively varied.

Abstract: Methods of constructing a structure for determining an item of interest in a sample are provided. According to one method, an effective length of movement of a container (15) for holding the sample in a process lane (28) where a process step is selectively automatically performed on the sample in the container (15) is determined. The process lane (28) is constructed such that the process lane (28) meets at least one of a predetermined throughput and a predetermined physical dimension. Elements are arranged along the process lane (28) such that the container (15) moves the effective length during performance of a determination of an item of interest.
