1. An automatic analyzing method for a microfluidic system, the method comprising:
- recognizing, by an automatic analyzing apparatus for the microfluidic system, a disc of the microfluidic system;
determining, by the automatic analyzing apparatus, a database (DB) file corresponding to the recognized disc from a DB external to the disc and loading the determined DB file;
performing, by the automatic analyzing apparatus, an operation of the microfluidic system according to operation-related information read from the loaded DB file;
performing, by the automatic analyzing apparatus, detection of the microfluidic system according to detection-related information read from the loaded DB file; and
calculating, by the automatic analyzing apparatus, a detection result value according to test-related information read from the loaded DB file and outputting the calculated detection result value,wherein the operation-related information comprises operation-related commands and variables of the microfluidic system.
