Comparisons of results between three in-house biochemistry analysers and a commercial laboratory analyser for feline plasma using multiple quality specifications
Published 2015-01-01In-house plasma biochemistry analysis is commonplace in veterinary practice but there are few studies assessing the results from such instruments. Method comparison in human clinical pathology uses results from both precision ...Open AccessArticle -
Detection of Aspergillus-specific antibodies by agar gel double immunodiffusion and IgG ELISA in feline upper respiratory tract aspergillosis.
Published 2015-01-01Highlights: Feline antibodies against cryptic Aspergillus spp. cross react with an aspergillin containing A. fumigatus antigens. • Brachycephalic cats are prone to upper respiratory tract aspergillosis (URTA). • ...Open AccessArticle -
Bias in feline plasma biochemistry results between three in-house analysers and a commercial laboratory analyser: results should not be directly compared
Published 2015-01-01In-house analysers are commonplace in small animal practices but cannot be calibrated by the operator; therefore, any bias in the generated plasma analyte values cannot be corrected. Guidelines such as grading of renal ...Open AccessArticle -
Biological variation and reference change values of feline plasma biochemistry analytes.
Published 2014-01-01This is the first report concerning biological variation and reference change values of feline plasma biochemistry components in the peer-reviewed literature. Biological variation refers to inherent physiological variation ...Open AccessArticle -
Assessments of feline plasma biochemistry reference intervals for three in-house analysers and a commercial laboratory analyser.
Published 2015-01-01For each species, the manufacturers of in-house analysers (and commercial laboratories) provide standard reference intervals (RIs) that do not account for any differences such as geographical population differences and do ...Open AccessArticle
