Multicentre evaluation of the Monarch (IL) clinical chemistry analyser
A multicentre evaluation of the Monarch centrifugal analyser is
reported. Precision, linearity and accuracy were assessed by
comparison with routine methods. Calibration stability, photometric
and dispensing accuracy, and carry-over related to samples
and reagents were also evaluated. The overall performance of the
instrument was good, showing an excellent photometric and
dispensing accuracy, absence of sample-dependent carry-over, and almost
negligible reagent carry-over. Good precision, linearity and
correlation with routine methods were found for the parameters
tested. The instrument is reliable and is now used as the routine
clinical chemistry analyser in two of the three laboratories taking
part in the evaluation
