Abstract Evaluation of a new generation of sodium slides and reference fluid for use with the
Kodak Ektachem 400 Analyzer demonstrated improved performance in generation 04 over …

The serum anion gap has been utilized to identify errors in the measurement of electrolytes,
to detect paraproteins, and, most relevant to the nephrologist, to evaluate patients with …

The major extracellular electrolytes, sodium, and potassium are often requested together
and form a large percentage of the requested tests in routine clinical chemistry laboratories …

Working Group on Selective Electrodes (SD-WGSE) of the International Federation of …

Two recent papers by Payne et a1.'S2 propose that an isotonic salt bridge of either 150
mmol/L KCl or NaCl may lead to improvements in performance over the hypertonic salt …

A series of well defined calibration solutions is proposed to eliminate some of the
discrepancies in the measurement of sodium, potassium and calcium in blood plasma by ion …

Background Electrolytes are measured regularly in a variety of clinical settings because
electrolyte imbalance can be life‐threatening. Although arterial blood‐gas analysis reports …

Although most acid‐base disorders cause opposite and equal changes in serum chloride
and bicarbonate concentrations, this inverse relationship can be distorted by changes in the …

The serum anion gap, calculated from the electrolytes measured in the chemical laboratory,
is defined as the sum of serum chloride and bicarbonate concentrations subtracted from the …

Objective To investigate whether benchtop auto-analyzers (AAs) and arterial blood gas
