Quantitative Evaluation of Commercially Available Test Kit for Ciguatera in Fish
Reliability of the commercially available Cigua-Check test kits to identify ciguateric fish was evaluated by assessing the uniformity of conclusions by multiple readers examining identical sticks. One hundred and eighty-eight samples of two types of reef fish were tested for ciguatera using Cigua-Check test strips. Paired subsamples of all specimens were also analyzed via the more rigorous N2a ...
متن کاملComment on “Quantitative Evaluation of Commercially Available Test Kit for Ciguatera in Fish”
This letter is in regards to the paper, “Quantitative evaluation of commercially available test kit for ciguatera in fish” [1]. We were compelled to respond because the entire premise of this paper is flawed, thus invalidating its stated conclusions.

متن کاملDevelopment of qRT-PCR Test for Quantification of Rubella Virus in Commercially Available Vaccines
vaccines is considered as a critical point and in-process of quality control (IPQC) test of vaccine production. Rapid tests, like real time PCR, are more appropriated when the production occurs at industrial scale because of the amounts of starting materials and the excess of consumed time required. In the current study, a real-time quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction...
متن کاملEvaluation of a commercially available rapid urinary porphobilinogen test.
BACKGROUND Demonstration of substantially increased urinary excretion of porphobilinogen is the cornerstone of diagnosing acute porphyria crisis. Because porphobilinogen testing is not implemented on clinical chemistry analysers, respective analyses are available in rather few clinical laboratories. The aim of this study was to critically describe and to evaluate a semi-quantitative rapid test ...
متن کاملEvaluation of three commercially available menual "kit" methods for triglycerides in serum.
We compared three commercially available kits for use in determining triglycerides (triacylglycerols) in serum, by different methods, for accuracy and precision, with use of pooled sera of low, normal, and high triglyceride concentrations. Accuracy varied from -17% to +16% of the independently determined value, depending on the method and triglyceride concentration. In general, the Calbiochem m...
