13 factors affecting biochemical analyzer test results

release time:2021-10-14 17:19:45

Biochemical analyzer is mainly used to measure various chemical components in human serum. It can measure liver function, kidney function, cardiac enzymes, blood glucose, blood lipids, ions, etc.

Biochemical analyzers can be divided into fully automatic biochemical analyzers and semi-automatic biochemical analyzers. Nowadays, most hospitals use fully automatic biochemical analyzers.

With a fully automatic biochemical analyzer, the entire process from sample addition to result is done automatically by the instrument. The operator only needs to put the sample on the specific position of the analyzer and select the program to start the instrument to take the test report. Since there are no manual steps in the analysis, there is little subjective error, and because fully automatic biochemical analyzers generally have automatic reporting of abnormalities and automatic correction of their own work status, the system error is also small, bringing great convenience to the user.

However, there are still some operations that can lead to errors in test results. The following are some of the common factors affecting the biochemistry instrument test results.

  • 1. the quality of the reagents. Including stability, repeatability, accuracy, linearity, sensitivity, specificity and resistance to interference.
  • 2. cross-contamination between reagents.
  • 3. the effect of the sample on the assay result.
  • 4. Incorrect collection methods.
  • 5. sample hemolysis, jaundice, celiac disease and drug effects.
  • 6. operator effects on results.
  • 7. incorrect reagents and sample preservation methods.
  • 8. incorrect assay parameters and calibrations.
  • 9. other. Such as misplaced reagents and samples.
  • 10. Influence of instrument parts on the determination results.
  • 11. optical colorimetric accuracy, stability and linear range.
  • 12. temperature control accuracy, volatility and temperature rise time.
  • 13. spiking accuracy and repeatability.

All of these factors may have an impact on the biochemical analyzer's test results. It is important to avoid these problems when using them.

Seamaty fully automated dry biochemical analyzers (POCT equipment) operate with full automation. For example, SD1 chemistry analyzer is equipped with online fault diagnosis and network upgrade alert function. It can help users to grasp the operation of the instrument in real time. And the biochemical instrument has no liquid circuit, pump valve and other perishable parts inside. Less maintenance, single-person reagent tray supporting use, free of cleaning and maintenance. The results are also more accurate.
