Sigma Metric Analysis
An analysis of 5 different point-of-care (POC) analyzers for C-Reactive Protein (CRP). Many years ago, assays were considered to be too imprecise to support their clinical use. Are the latest instruments any better?
A recent online publication combined a laboratory and field evaluation of two POC testing devices for lipids and glucose. Are we seeing good POC performance in real-world settings?
A 2013 study evaluated the analytical performance of a POC blood analysis system. Are we seeing improvements in POC performance? Are there additional sources of error that need to be tracked when we evaluate POC devices?
As part of our continuing series of evaluations, we take a look at three point-of-care (POC) blood glucose analyzers. We use a paper that evaluates them for use in a specific critical setting: a neonatal intensive care unit.
A look at the UniCel DxI 800 Immunoassay Analyzer and its performance for five tumor markers.
