✦ Synopsis

The Beckman Array and the Behring Ne-meter offered a choice of single or multiphelometer offer the clinical laboratory point calibration, retrieval of raw data, ease completely automated discrete protein of operation, more flexibility in test paramanalysis. To select one of these systems, eters, and choice of calibrator. Interferwe compared five protein analytes: IgG, ence from lipemia frequently caused IgA, IgM, transferrin, and prealbumin. In variable results requiring pretreatment of addition to automation, we wanted to the sample. Both instruments demonachieve better precision than our present strated excellent precision, linearity, and method and have available a wider range correlated adequately with the Hyland of test selection.
