Automated parasitological diagnosis in clinical microbiology laboratories

Introducing New Laboratory-Developed Molecular Methods in the Clinical Microbiology Laboratories

Biomedical mass spectrometry in today's and tomorrow's clinical microbiology laboratories.

Clinical microbiology is a conservative laboratory exercise where base technologies introduced in the 19th century remained essentially unaltered. High-tech mass spectrometry (MS) has changed that. Within a few years following its adaptation to microbiological diagnostics, MS has been introduced, embraced, and broadly accepted by clinical microbiology laboratories throughout the world as an inn...

Evaluation of five gentamicin assay procedures for clinical microbiology laboratories.

Five gentamicin assay procedures (a bioassay, an enzyme immunoassay, a latex agglutination inhibition test, a fluorescence immunoassay, and a radioimmunoassay) were evaluated to determine which was optimal for our laboratory. The evaluation was based on recovery and precision studies and results of analyses of patient samples, as well as technical assay performance factors. The latex agglutinat...
