An evaluation of the Beckman chloride/carbon dioxide analyzer.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We compared the Beckman Cl/CO2 Analyzer to the American Instrument Company chloride titrator for measurement of chloride in serum, sweat, and spinal fluid. We also compared it to the Natelson gasometer and a modified continuous-flow (AutoAnalyzer) technique for measurement of carbon dioxide in serum. Effects of bilirubin and hemoglobin on results for both the CO2, and Cl were negligible. The linearity, stability, and precision of the equipment was studied. We believe the Beckman Cl/CO2 Analyzer to be ideal for simultaneous measurement of chloride and carbon dioxide in a pediatric or emergency-determination setting.

The Technicon RA-1000 evaluated for measuring sodium, potassium, chloride, and carbon dioxide.
We evaluated the Technicon RA-1000 "random-access" analyzer for the measurements of sodium, potassium, and carbon dioxide by an indirect potentiometric method (ion-selective electrode) and for chloride by a colorimetric method (mercuric thiocyanate). For various concentrations of control materials the total precision (CV) ranged from 0.9 to 1.2% for sodium, 1.1 to 1.3% for potassium, 1.0 to 1.2...
متن کاملThe effect of sodium bicarbonate and validation of beckman coulter AU680 analyzers for measuring total carbon dioxide (TCO2) concentrations in horse serum
This study evaluated the usage of Beckman Coulter AU680 analyzers for measurement of TCO 2 in horse serum, and the effect of sodium bicarbonate administrations on serum TCO 2 levels in resting horses. Treatment of horses with sodium bicarbonate did not result in any adverse events. Mean TCO 2 concentration was significantly higher from 1 to 8 h in the sodium bicarbonate-treated horses compared ...

“SMAC” (Sequential Multiple Analyzer plus Computer) is a high-speed computer-controlled multitest analyzer. A 20-channel prototype SMAC (glucose, urea nitrogen, creatinine, carbon dioxide content, total bilirubin, calcium, phosphorus, cholesterol, iron, uric acid, chloride, sodium, potassium, total protein, albumin, creatine kinase, alkaline phosphatase, lactate dehydrogenase, and aspartate and...
متن کاملAn Experimental Investigation of Reactive Absorption of Carbon Dioxide into an Aqueous NH3/H2O/NaOH Solution
In this research, the reactive absorption of carbon dioxide in an aqueous solution of NH3, H2O, and NaOH has experimentally been investigated. The experiments were carried out in an absorption pilot plant in different operational conditions. The composition and temperature of both gas and liquid phases were obtained during the column height. The concentration of molecular ...
متن کاملEvaluation of a new multichannel analyzer, "Astra-8".
We evaluated a new multiple-channel chemistry analyzer, the Beckman "Astra-8," which is controlled by a microprocessor with 52K bytes of memory. The instrument we tested performed the following tests: Na, K, CO2, chloride, urea nitrogen, glucose, and creatinine. We compared the Astra-8 to a continuous-flow (SMA 6/60) and a discrete (Du Pont aca, urea nitrogen only) analyzer. The Astra-8 demonst...
