Comparison of the Linearity and Sensitivity of Plasma Glucose, Urea and Creatinine Using ( Two kits(BioSystems and Linear Companies

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.
