Evaluation of the Olympus AU-510 analyser

Analytical performance of the selective, automatic multianalyser Olympus AU 5031

The analytical performance of the selective, automatic multianalyser Olympus AU 5031 was evaluated over four months and assessed for practicability for another eight months. The evaluation followed the ECCLS guidelines. Twenty routine parameters were measured. In addition, sodium and potassium were determined on an attached flame photometric unit. Both the agreement between the eights photomete...

Analytical performance of the selective multianalyser Olympus AU 5200

The analytical performance of a selective, automatic multianalyser- the Olympus A U5200 - was tested and assessed for practicability, following ECCLSguidelines. Twenty-two analytes were tested and compared with the Olympus A U5000 analyser. A Hitachi 747 analyser was also included in this survey in order to obtain correlation data for ISE measurements.The imprecision data, expressed as median C...

A systematic evaluation of the Olympus AU5061 as an effective replacement for the SMAC II analyser

Letter to the Editor: The effects of hyperlipidaemia, hyperbilirubinaemia and haemolysis on tests performed by the Olympus AU 5000 multiple analyser

Increasing amounts ofIntralipid (Kabivitrum), bilirubin (NBS standard 916) or haemolysate were added to a serum pool of 40 patients, as previously described [1]. Added Intralipid yielded samples with triglyceride levels of 0"8-6-3 g/l, added bilirubin yielded samples having total bilirubin levels of 4-325 mg/1 and added haemolysate yielded samples with haemoglobin concentrations of 0-1"58 g/1. ...

Synthesis of Au Nanoparticles by Thermal, Sonochemical and Electrochemical Methods: Optimization and Characterization

The present study concentrates on the synthesis of Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) using aqueous solution of Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and tetrachloroaurate by different methods as thermal, sonochemical and electrochemical reduction. The PVP has been used as a reducing agent and acts as a stabilizer for Au nano particles that obtained as principal product. In all synthesis procedures, the active radi...
