متن کاملAnalytical performance of the serum free light chain assay.
BACKGROUND The Freelite system for nephelometric or turbidimetric measurement of serum free light chains (FLCs) has been available since 2001. It has been valuable for the management of patients with oligosecretory myeloma, light chain myeloma and AL amyloidosis. However, there are several limitations of the method. The goal of this study was to evaluate the analytical performance of the FLC as...
متن کاملAnalytical performance of the i-STAT cardiac troponin I assay.
BACKGROUND This study determines the analytical characteristics of the i-STAT cardiac troponin I assay (cTnI; i-STAT, Princeton, NJ), a 10-min POC assay, designed to be performed at the bedside. METHODS Three different hospitals participated in a patient specimen and analytical validation study (n=186) for the i-STAT cTnI assay carried out in real time. A total of 186 whole blood specimens (l...
متن کاملPerformance attributes of the LCx HCV RNA quantitative assay.
The LCx HCV RNA quantitative assay (Abbott Laboratories, North Chicago, IL) is designed to use competitive reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and microparticle enzyme immunoassay (MEIA), in combination with a modified Qiagen sample preparation method, to measure the level of hepatitis C virus (HCV) in human plasma and serum. The assay provides quantitative results in inter...
