Laboratory evaluation of the COBAS MIRA S random access analyser
نویسندگان
چکیده
The random access analyser COBAS MIRA S (Roche Diagnostics) was evaluated for two months. The instrument is a computer-controlled discrete analyser which can be run in a combination profile and single test mode. This instrument has special features, including an automatic cuvette segment changer, a reagent rack cooling system, an external keyboard and monitor, as well as a bar-code facility for the entry of test parameters, worklists and sample identification numbers. Study of within-run and between-run precision gave values of % CV 0.54-3.37 and 0.61-3.65, respectively, for a variety of assays. Linearity testing to the upper limit of each test was also studied and were found to cover the necessary pathological range. Within the two-month period, no major problems were encountered. The instrument required minimum operator attention during operation. Correlation studies with the Hitachi 705 using six clinical chemistry tests (glucose, cholesterol, triglyceride, ALP, AST, ALT) gave correlation coefficients ranging from 0.95-0.99 and slopes of 0.91-1.17.

A short evaluation of a new haematological analyser: the Cobas Argos 5 Diff.
In order to evaluate the Cobas Argos 5 Diff, a five-part differential haematological analyser, we performed a comparative study using our current analyser, the Toa E-5000, and the manual leukocyte differential. Samples (n = 593) were collected from various departments in our hospital and were tested on both Cobas Argos 5 Diff and Toa E-5000. Regression lines were calculated for all standard hae...
متن کاملAnalysis of lidocaine on the COBAS INTEGRA.
A new fluorescence polarization (FP) immunoassay was developed for the COBAS INTEGRA to quantitate lidocaine in serum and sodium heparin derived plasma. The COBAS INTEGRA, a random and continuous access clinical analyzer, performs the new lidocaine assay at a throughput of 300 tests per hour. Comparison studies with the Abbott TDx Lidocaine assay yielded a correlation coefficient of 0.99 and a ...
متن کاملImmunoturbidimetric assays for serum apolipoproteins A1 and B using Cobas Bio centrifugal analyser.
Immunoturbidimetric assays for measuring the apolipoproteins A1 and B using the Cobas Bio centrifugal analyser are described. The methods were specific, offered good sensitivity (less than 0.05 g/l) and intrabatch variability, with coefficients of variation between 2.4% and 3.5%, and were cost effective. Reference ranges were calculated for a group of civil servants, aged 35 to 55 years.
