The quality and quantity of compounds affected by viral inactivation methods in dried blood spots
Objectives The aim is to evaluate the effect of viral inactivation methods on the quality and quantity of compounds in dried blood spots (DBS). Methods Three effective and common inactivation methods were selected via the literature search, including: heating at 56 °C...
Performance evaluation of the automated body fluid analysis of the new Sysmex XR haematology analyser
Objectives The cellular composition of body fluids (BF) provides insight into disease pathology and is an important diagnostic parameter. The well-established Sysmex XN haematology analyser (XN) offers automated BF analysis and is in routine use in many laboratories....
Predictive value of combined serum IL-6 with UREA on severity of neonatal pneumonia: an observational study
Objectives IL-6 is an inflammatory marker and urea nitrogen (UREA) is a common indicator of glomerular filtration function. Their combined detection has predictive value for the severity of neonatal pneumonia. Methods We performed a cross-sectional analysis of the...
Proof of concept: stabilized whole blood material suitable for external quality assessment of near-patient testing devices
Objectives Even though reliable glucose concentration measurements are essential in diagnosis and monitoring of diabetes mellitus, external quality assurance based on mandatory reference method values can only be conducted to a limited extent for measurements in whole...
Second generation of soluble transferrin receptor assay – consequences for the interpretation of the ‘Thomas plot’
