Hypothesis
The analytical performance of the Olympus AU 5200 analyser is superior to that of the Olympus AU 5000 analyser.
Conclusion
The Olympus AU 5200 analyser demonstrated better precision and accuracy compared to the AU 5000 analyser.
Supporting Evidence
- The AU 5200 showed median CV values below 2% for 21 parameters.
- Recovery of assigned values in control sera was between 95% and 105% for 14 tests.
- Imprecision from day to day was lower on the AU 5200 compared to the AU 5000.
Takeaway
The Olympus AU 5200 is a machine that tests samples quickly and accurately, making it great for busy labs.
Methodology
The study involved testing 22 analytes using the Olympus AU 5200 and comparing results with the AU 5000 and Hitachi 747 analysers.
Limitations
The evaluation was not multicentre, which may limit the generalizability of the results.
