Background: The aim of our study was to examine the performance two assays in detecting SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. Methods: A total 127 COVID-19 disease contacts from Infectious Diseases Department were included. Two serological tests used: IgG CMIA on Alinity system (Abbott) and LIAISON® S1/S2 CLIA (DiaSorin). Results: exhibited a 96.85% (123/127 patients) test result agreement. In cases, positive...

Abstract Objectives Quality control measurements are a keystone in daily routine laboratory workflows. This study evaluated the use of consolidated quality material for increasing efficiency while also reducing costs. Methods materials from two different manufacturers were chosen to evaluate test setting. A total 23 clinical chemistry tests and 15 immunoassays performed twice each day under con...

Salinity gradient energy, which is also known as Blue energy, is a renewable energy form that can be extracted from the mixing of two solutions with different salinities. About 80% of the current global electricity demand could potentially be covered by this energy source. Among several energy extraction technologie...

Monomeric prolactin estimate (MRRL) post polyethylene glycol (PEG) precipitation has been added to the RCPAQAP endocrine program in 2022. The noted flagged low performance compared consensus prompted further investigation identify causes. Prolactin testing by Abbott alinity method showed acceptable excluding any analytical issue with assay. PEG preparation procedure was reviewed and confirmed b...
