  • CLINICAL ANALYZER WASH AND METHOD
    Publication number: 20160223575
    Abstract: A clinical analyzer has been described that includes a probe to aspirate a fluid. The probe is washed between aspirations to reduce carryover. The wash operation includes both an internal and an external wash, where the internal wash operation is terminated prior to terminating the external wash. In one example, the probe wash can be implemented on an integrated clinical chemistry/immunoassay analyzer.

  • Propylene glycol as an activator for phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase
    Patent number: 5304469
    Abstract: The present invention provides an improved method and reagent for measuring the total carbon dioxide content in a sample of body fluid. The improvement comprises adding a sufficient amount of propylene glycol to the PEPC enzyme reagent to increase the activity of PEPC and maintaining the enzyme reagent at a substantially constant pH of about 6.0 to 7.0.
