Laboratory evaluation of the Beckman Synchron CX3 clinical chemistry analyzer.

چکیده
In this evaluation of the Beckman Synchron CX3, the multi-analyte clinical chemistry analyzer exhibited high precision, good linearity, and no carryover for each of the eight analytes measured. Results obtained correlated well with those produced by our routine instrumentation (Beckman Astra, Varian atomic absorption spectrophotometer). The instrument can process up to 75 samples per hour (600 tests per hour if all tests available are requested) and, after calibration, can provide urgent results for the complete panel of tests within 2 1/2 min. The performance characteristics of this instrument make it ideal as a routine or a "stat" analyzer for commonly requested tests in the clinical chemistry laboratory.

Analytical evaluation of i-STAT Portable Clinical Analyzer and use by nonlaboratory health-care professionals.
We evaluated the performance of the i-STAT Portable Clinical Analyzer, a hand-held instrument that, with its current cartridge, analyzes for electrolytes, urea nitrogen, glucose, and hematocrit in approximately 60 microL of whole blood in approximately 90 s. Accuracy, imprecision, and linearity studies were performed with aqueous controls and standards and by split-sample analysis. Intrarun imp...

We evaluated a colorimetric assay of potassium in plasma and serum with the Boehringer Mannheim Reflotron reflectance photometric analyzer, which is designed for near-patient testing in hospitals and physicians' offices. This potassium method does not require calibration or instrument maintenance by the operator. Analysis of 30 microL of plasma or serum takes approximately 140 s. Within-day imp...
متن کاملEffect of pyridostigmine bromide on serum bromide concentration and the anion gap.
B romide (Br) causes positive interference with all clinical laboratory methods for the detenmination of serum Cl (1 .2). Interference with Cl measurement is much greater with ion-selective electrode (ISE) technology (1 .3) than with coubometry (1 -4). We recently described a patient ingesting therapeutic amounts of pynidostigmine Br (MestInon1 , containing 1 8.4 mg of Br [30.6%j per 60-mg tabl...

We assessed the analytical performance of the Axon system (Bayer Diagnostici), according to the European Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards guidelines, for assay of 12 analytes: cholesterol, creatinine, glucose, total protein, urea, uric acid, alkaline phosphatase, alpha-amylase, aspartate aminotransferase, creatine kinase, sodium, and potassium. The field evaluation lasted approximate...

We have identified rare (approximately 0.2% of all samples), but clinically significant, discrepancies between serum or plasma sodium concentrations measured with the Kodak Ektachem 700's direct ion-selective electrode (ISE) method and concentrations measured with two other analyzers: the Beckman Synchron CX3's dilutional ISE instrument and the Radiometer KNA2 instrument for sodium-potassium an...
