Sigma Metric Analysis
Completing our trilogy of Mindray hematology instruments, we go back to a 2013 study of the BC-3600. The study authors concluded this instrument's performance is "satisfactory." Does a Sigma-metric analysis agree?
We've been looking at a number of hematology instruments recently. It's time to look at one of the market-leading instruments from Sysmex.
IMPORTANT: Correction of an error in the original study has been made.
Can we calculate Sigma-metrics for Molecular Diagnostic methods? We came across an early example of applying Sigma-metrics to the evaluation of an HBV method. What happens when we look at performance on the logarithmic scale?
We don't often analyze hematology instruments. A study of a new miniature automated hematology analyzer system was published in the International Journal of Laboratory Hematology in 2015. So what are the goals for quality for hematology?
A 2015 study in Revista de Caldida Asistencial analyzed a new core laboratory chemistry analyzer and the importance of implementing an analytical quality control system.
