Analyzer is the standard American English spelling (versus British 'analyser') for an instrument or person that performs analysis. In optics, it specifically refers to a polarizing filter used to examine the polarization state of light. In everyday usage it simply means any instrument — chemical, data-based, or physical — that breaks down a sample or signal into components. The 'person who analyzes' sense is now mostly replaced in professional contexts by specific role titles.
The lab technician ran the sample through the analyzer three times to confirm the result.
Origin: From 'analyze' (American English form of 'analyse,' from French analyser, ultimately from Greek analusis) + '-er' agent/instrument suffix. Editorial expansion authored on Slangora.

For specific readers
Why is this section here?
Slang is read by different audiences for very different reasons. The For parents view re-explains the term in plain, non-judgemental language so a caregiver can understand what their child means without needing the surrounding subculture. The For English learners view focuses on register (when it's safe to use), formal alternatives, and common mistakes — what a textbook won't teach you.
