Abstract

The analytical performance of the Dimension XL clinical chemical system was evaluated. The XL is the latest addition to the Dimension family of instruments; it is a random access analyser with a throughput up to 740 tests/hour. Regression analysis of method comparison studies with Dimension AR yielded slopes of 0.93 to 1.03 and correlation coefficients ≥0.96 for 28 assays. Excellent precision performance was also observed. New instrument features of the XL are discussed.
