Laboratory evaluation of the Boehringer Mannheim "Diagnostic M" automated discrete analyzer.

Abstract:

:We evaluated a new multiple-channel chemistry analyzer, the Boehringer Mannheim "Diagnostic M." This instrument can perform 25 tests at the rate of 120 1.3-mL serum samples per hour. The instrument may be run in either a profile mode or single-test mode. In the single-test mode only the necessary reagent is pumped. the instrument is computer controlled. We compared it with the Technicon SMAC, SMA 12/60, and SMA 6/60. It demonstrated excellent precision, linearity, lack of interference, ease of operation, and satisfactory comparison with values obtained by the Technicon methods.

  • Totally automated liquid-chromatographic assay for cortisol and associated glucocorticoids in serum, with use of ASTED sample preparation.

    abstract::We describe estimation of total cortisol in serum by HPLC. Incorporation of a new technique to totally automate sample preparation decreases costs. The benefits of HPLC ensure that interferences from other steroids are avoided. The method can also be used to estimate concentrations of other glucocorticoids in serum. ...
