Abstract
We evaluated the performance of the Kodak Ektachem 400 Analyzer in a 16-week clinical trial. We assessed four potentiometric tests and nine colorimetric tests for precision and correlation with results obtained some other commonly used instruments (Technicon SMA II and C800 System, Du Pont aca II, and Baker CentrifiChem). The comparison was favorable for all tests except albumin, sodium, and carbon dioxide. The reagents are stable. Little refrigerator storage space is needed. The computer system and the modular component design of the Ektachem 400 Analyzer make operation, troubleshooting, and preventive maintenance relatively easy.
