A Comparison of Fundamental Performance between Two Bench Top Clinical Chemistry Analyzers

Cutpoints in clinical chemistry: time for fundamental reassessment.

When prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing started to become widespread in the late 1980s, discrepancies between values yielded by different assays became apparent. Elucidation of the various molecular forms of PSA in the blood and other bodily fluids in the early 1990s contributed critical information as to how to avoid these assay-related biases (1 ). Another important advance was Stamey an...

Boroxine Chemistry: from Fundamental Studies to Applications in Supramolecular and Synthetic Organic Chemistry

Organoboroxine chemistry has recently received much attention because the boroxine formation reaction is a powerful tool for the construction of organized architectures. The reversible nature of this reaction may result in new materials that possess unprecedented levels of structural organization due to facilitation through self-correction, and switchable properties can be imparted by the react...

Drug interference in clinical chemistry: studies on ascorbic acid.

The expert group "Drug Interference in Clinical Chemistry" of the Bureau of Reference, Directorate General for Research, Science and Education of the Commission of the European Communities, consisting of one participant of each member of the European Communities, presents this first report on the final results of its activities. Within the framework of a first stage basic program, the paper des...
