Evaluation of the automated ADVIA centaur® XP syphilis assay for serological testing

Evaluation of the ADVIA Centaur TSH-3 assay.

An analytical evaluation of the thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH-3) assay on the Bayer ADVIA Centaur immunoassay system was performed. General analytical requirements (linearity, resistance to typical interferences, absence of a carry-over effect) were fulfilled and reproducibility was satisfactory. Inter-assay coefficient of variation (CV) of a human serum pool with a concentration of 0.014 mU...

[Evaluation of Allergen Specific IgE assay on ADVIA Centaur Immunoassay System.].

BACKGROUND Allergen specific IgE (sIgE) assay is an important aid in the diagnosis and treatment of allergy. We evaluated the analytical performance of a quantitative chemiluminescence immunoassay for sIgE using the continuous random access ADVIA Centaur. METHODS Six ADVIA Centaur sIgE reagents for common inhalant allergens in Korea, d1, d2, e1, e5, t3, and t7, were evaluated for precision, d...

Guidelines for serological testing for syphilis

Although we may wish it were not so, syphilis, like the poor, will always be with us—at least for the foreseeable future. The levels of both are determined to a large extent, by political instability and socioeconomic deprivation. Overall, the incidence of syphilis is low in Western Europe (approximately 0.3 cases/ 100 000 in England in 1998) although it has reached epidemic proportions in the ...
