A nationwide multicenter study was conducted in the China to explore sources of variation of reference values and establish reference intervals for 28 common biochemical analytes, as a part of the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine, Committee on Reference Intervals and Decision Limits (IFCC/C-RIDL) global study on reference values. A total of 3148 apparently ...

BACKGROUND A multicenter study conducted in Southeast Asia to derive reference intervals (RIs) for 72 commonly measured analytes (general chemistry, inflammatory markers, hormones, etc.) featured centralized measurement to clearly detect regionality in test results. The results of 31 standardized analytes are reported, with the remaining analytes presented in the next report. METHOD The study...

A team of US scientists has shown that a novel form of imaging mass spectrometry (MS) is not only able to analyse both solid and liquid samples, but can even be used to separate the various analytes in those liquid samples. This means that the novel MS technique can perform dual analytic roles: identifying analytes separated by chromatography or electrophoresis, or separating analytes prior to ...

in this study, incorporation of iron ion-doped natrolite nanozeolite, multi-wall carbon nanotubes into chitosan-coated glassy carbon electrode for the simultaneous determination of ascorbic acid, epinephrine, uric acid and tyrosine is studied. the results show that the combination of multi-wall carbon nanotubes and iron ion-doped natrolite zeolite causes a dramatic enhancement in the sensitivit...

a user-friendly and inexpensive ionic liquid-based single-drop microextraction (il-sdme) method was developed to preconcentrate trace amounts of aminophenol isomers (aps) from human urine, hair dye and water samples prior to analysis by high performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet spectrophotometry detection (hplc-uv). under optimum conditions (i.e., 3.5 µl of 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium ...

A wet-chemistry biochemical analyzer was assessed for in-practice veterinary use. Its small size may mean a cost-effective method for low-throughput in-house biochemical analyses for first-opinion practice. The objectives of our study were to determine imprecision, total observed error, and acceptability of the analyzer for measurement of common canine and feline serum analytes, and to compare ...

BACKGROUND Analytes in blood and urine may vary over time according to conditions of transport and storage. METHODS UK Biobank pilot study to investigate stability through time of 42 haematological and clinical chemistry analytes in blood and four analytes in urine, kept in storage for up to 36 h, for 40 individuals. Random effects linear regressions were used to model the change through time...

The performance of several previously designed model series of test analytes has been tested to characterize in an objective, quantitative manner modern stationary phases for reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) using quantitative structure-retention relationships (QSRRs). Three QSRR approaches and three respective series of test analytes recommended for studies of th...

Previous studies that have examined the potential for plasma markers to serve as biomarkers for Alzheimer disease (AD) have studied single analytes and focused on the amyloid-β and τ isoforms and have failed to yield conclusive results. In this study, we performed a multivariate analysis of 146 plasma analytes (the Human DiscoveryMAP v 1.0 from Rules-Based Medicine) in 527 subjects with AD, mil...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to define the reference intervals (RIs) in a Turkish population living in Northeast Turkey (Erzurum) for 34 analytes using direct and indirect methods. In the present study, the regional RIs obtained were compared with other RI studies, primarily the nationwide study performed in Turkey. MATERIALS AND METHODS For the direct method, 435 blood samples were...
