Abstract The Beckman Electrolyte 2 Analyzer (E2A) has been studied for its response to
sodium and potassium content in various laboratory prepared pH-adjusted mixtures of metal …

Background The purpose of this review is to provide a differential diagnosis for a low anion
gap. Methods We describe the anatomy of the anion gap. Also, we follow-up with a review of …

Measurement of chloride in plasma is of interest in the assessment of acid-base
disturbances and is essential to calculate the anion gap thereby estimating the amount of …

A simple model for the simulation of patient Na, CO2, Cl, and anion gap was formulated from
patient electrolyte data. Analytical error, either random or systematic, was incorporated into …

The measurements of ionized calcium and pH in paired samples of anaerobic capillary
whole blood, venous whole blood, venous plasma, and venous serum have been evaluated …

The observed reference ranges for sodium and potassium as determined by direct
potentiometry vary from instrument to instrument, depending on the composition of the …

In a recent article in this journal, Rodriguez-Garcia et al.[1] reported about transferability of
results for serum sodium and potassium between different analysers. Four of the seven …

OBJECTIVES: To assess the analytical performance of Beckman Coulter AU5800. DESIGN
AND METHODS: Imprecision, linearity and comparison studies were performed on 12 …

We are pleased to see that Coleman and Young agree with our original exhortation
concerning the need to establish the ranges for sodium and potassium in normal samples …

We tested the response of ion-selective sodium and potassium electrodes that are a part of
the new multi-channel chemical analyzers, Astra 8 and Astra 4 (Beckman). For this we used …
