Hypothesis
The objective was to evaluate the automatic ELISA Triturus analyser in order to assess its practicability and imprecision.
Conclusion
The Triturus analyser is a reliable open analytical system suitable for conventional laboratories with medium-to-high work charge.
Supporting Evidence
- The within-run imprecision rate ranged from 8.9% to 10.2% for the semiquantitative test.
- The between-run imprecision rate ranged from 6% to 9.7% for the semiquantitative test.
- The quantitative method presented a good correlation with the reference method.
- The qualitative test correlated with the reference method.
Takeaway
The Triturus analyser is a machine that helps test samples quickly and accurately, making it useful for busy labs.
Methodology
The evaluation included within- and between-run imprecision studies, method comparison with patient specimens, and assessment of detection limits.
Limitations
The need for calibration of each technique and series increases workload and requires experience.
