Evaluation of the IL-Phoenix chemistry electrolyte analyser

An evaluation of the IL 508 eight-channel blood-chemistry analyser

Multicentre evaluation of the Monarch (IL) clinical chemistry analyser

A multicentre evaluation of the Monarch centrifugal analyser is reported. Precision, linearity and accuracy were assessed by comparison with routine methods. Calibration stability, photometric and dispensing accuracy, and carry-over related to samples and reagents were also evaluated. The overall performance of the instrument was good, showing an excellent photometric and dispensing accuracy, a...

Thermodynamic Study of the Ternary Electrolyte (1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride + sodium chloride + Water) System Using Potentiometric Measurements

In this paper, the thermodynamic properties of the aqueous mixed electrolyte system containing 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([BMIm]Cl) and NaCl are reported based on the potentiometric method. The potentiometric measurements were performed on the galvanic cells without liquid junction of the type:Ag-AgCl [BMIm]Cl (m1), NaCl(m2), H2O│IL-...

Performance of Gem Premier blood gas/electrolyte analyzer evaluated.

We evaluated a new analyzer designed for point-of-care testing of blood gases, sodium, potassium, ionized calcium, and hematocrit. The Gem Premier (Mallinckrodt) system has two components: the analyzer and a disposable cartridge. Analysis takes place in the cartridge, which contains the electrochemical sensors, the calibrants, the reagents, the sampling stylus, and the waste container. The syst...

A modification of the Hilger Analytical Chemispek multichannel electrolyte analyser for the direct measurement of urine concentrations of sodium, potassium, urea and creatinine

The former procedure for urine analysis in this laboratory was to analyse both the neat sample and a 10-fold dilution using the Chemispek serum electrolyte analyser described by Smith et al. [1], and from these results to calculate the analyte concentrations. These values were then transcribed onto a report form. A greatly increasing work-load, largely from the Regional Renal Dialysis and Trans...
