Recovery and Precision in Human Whole Blood
To prepare samples for analysis, blood was collected in heparinized vacuum tubes
and tonometered at 37
°C to each of 6 levels to prepare samples for pH, Na
+
, K
+
,
Cl
-
, and Ca
++
, 5 levels to prepare samples for glucose and lactate analysis, and 9
levels to prepare samples for pCO

analysis. Multiple runs were
performed using these samples on a minimum of 3 Rapidlab
1260 systems
The following tables summarize the results of the Rapidlab 1260 system human
