Validation of a mobile clinical pathology laboratory for canine hematology and biochemistry.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In clinical diagnosis and research, it is often essential to carry out laboratory tests that provide reliable results rapidly. However, in some circumstances, these tests are not available at the patient's location, leading to a delay before analysis that increases turnaround time and can cause pre-analytical errors. To this end, a new mobile laboratory van containing one hematology and one biochemistry benchtop analyzers was developed, and a validation study was performed under field conditions (i.e., after trips of varying distances) with canine specimens and quality control materials.

Results

Linearity was considered acceptable for all variables. Coefficient of variation was < 5% for biochemical variables and most hematological ones (0.0-8.11%) and imprecision
