چکیده
OBJECTIVES This study compared the new high-volume blood coagulation analyzer Sysmex CS-5100 System™ (Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics, Erlangen, Germany) to the mid-volume blood coagulation analyzer Sysmex CS-2000i System™ (Siemens) for analytical performance. Additionally, the operational performance of the Sysmex CS-5100 System was compared with the blood coagulation analyzer ACL TOP 700 (Instrumentation Laboratory, Werfen Group, Kirchheim bei Munchen, Germany). MATERIALS AND METHODS We compared the Sysmex CS-5100 to the Sysmex CS-2000i and the ACL TOP analyzer for routine coagulation, chromogenic and immunological assays. Imprecision studies were performed for the Sysmex CS-5100 and Sysmex CS-2000i systems. A throughput and STAT analysis comparison of the CS-5100 and the ACL TOP was performed. A stress test was performed to characterize the robustness and the error rate of the CS-5100. We also performed correlation analysis between the CS-5100 and the CS-2000i or the ACL TOP in the measurement of patients' samples. RESULTS The inter-assay precision using the CS systems was impressive (inter-assay CV generally <3.5%) and the correlation between the two Sysmex analyzers was excellent. In the throughput study, the CS-5100 completed the measurement of 100 samples (210 results) in less than 49 min. CONCLUSIONS Our results demonstrated that the CS-5100 is a robust high-throughput analyzer, well-suited for coagulation laboratories.

Immature Granulocytes (IG) are normally not present in peripheral blood. Their presence is an important indicator of enhanced bone marrow activation. The present study evaluated the diagnostic performance of the Sysmex XT-2000i automated hematology analyzer in the detection of myelocytes and/or metamyelocytes in patients affected by non-haematological disease, in comparison with manual microsco...
متن کاملPerformance evaluation and multicentre study of a von Willebrand factor activity assay based on GPIb binding in the absence of ristocetin.
The functional activity of von Willebrand factor (VWF) is most frequently measured by using the ristocetin cofactor assay (VWF:RCo). However, the method's drawbacks include unsatisfactory precision, sensitivity and availability of automated system applications. We have developed an alternative assay (INNOVANCE VWF Ac) that is based on the binding of VWF to recombinant glycoprotein Ib (GPIb). Tw...

UNLABELLED Coagulation factor XIII (FXIII) is essential for clot stabilization. Deficiency of FXIII is associated with a risk of bleeding and impaired wound healing. Substitution therapy with FXIII remedies for patients with low plasma levels of FXIII requires diagnostic quantification of the factor before and during therapy. Here, we describe a prototype of a preliminary research immunoassay f...

OBJECTIVES In thrombocytopenia, high accuracy and precision of low platelet count is essential for appropriate decisions. The recently introduced Sysmex XN2000 analyzer (Sysmex, Kobe, Japan) offers 3 methods for platelet counting: impedance (PLT-I), optical (PLT-O), and a new fluorescence method (PLT-F). The precision of the PLT-F method in blood samples with platelet counts less than 50 × 10(3...
