The aim of this study was to perform the analytical validation of Alinity c and i analyzers (Abbott Laboratories, Chicago, IL, USA) for 39 clinical chemistry tests and 17 immunoassays. Precision was evaluated at least at two concentration levels for 5 days in quintuplicate, following CLSI EP15-A3. Method comparison included parallel analysis of leftover routine samples on Alinity analyzers and the previously used Cobas c501 and e601 (Roche Diagnostics, Mannheim, Germany).

- The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of two methods—enzymatic method (EM) and capillary electrophoresis (CE)—for measuring hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels.
- Both methods demonstrated high precision, accuracy, and linearity in measurements, with minimal significant differences that were not clinically impactful.
- However, specific interferences, such as high triglyceride levels for EM and certain fetal hemoglobin levels for CE, can affect measurement accuracy for each method.
Introduction: This pilot study aimed to investigate the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and compliance to the code of conduct (rules defined in institutional, governmental and professional guidelines) among laboratory technicians in Croatian medical laboratories. In addition, we explored the differences in compliance between participants of different age groups, laboratory ownership and accreditation status.
Materials And Methods: An anonymous and voluntary survey with 15 questions was conducted among Croatian medical laboratory technicians (N=217).
