The operating principles of the CentrifiChem are briefly described and the results of the evaluation are summarised. The pipettor, the temperature control unit, and the photometer were tested separately, but the remainder of the instrument is interdependent. Up to 10 different tests were used to measure within-batch and between-day precision, and accuracy. Carryover was found to be small, and for the six tests investigated the linearity was good. Estimates are given of the running costs, and also included are sections on the reliability and safety of the instrument. Since it requires only a small volume of serum, it is ideally suited to paediatric requirements. When used as an enzyme analyser it can work at about 200 specimens per hour.
简要描述了CentrifiChem的工作原理,并总结了评估结果。移液器、温度控制单元和光度计分别进行了测试,但仪器的其余部分相互依存。使用多达10种不同的测试来测量批内和日间精密度以及准确性。发现残留量很小,在所研究的六项测试中线性良好。给出了运行成本的估计,还包括仪器可靠性和安全性的章节。由于它只需要少量血清,因此非常适合儿科需求。用作酶分析仪时,它每小时可处理约200个样本。
