Abstract:
This study was conducted in the National Health Laboratory
intending the comparison of glucose, urea and creatinine using
reagents produced by BioSystems and Linear S.L. on the
comparison covers base of their linearity and sensitivity to assure
their suitability to be used by health laboratories for diagnostic
purposes.
One kit from each source was used to analyze specimens
containing several concentrations of the three analytes. Normal and
high concentrations were examined to study the linearity of the
reagents, while lower concentrations were examined to study the
sensitivity of these reagents. All reagents from both companies
showed acceptable linearity and sensitivity. No significant
difference between the results obtained by the two kits.
