Objectives: Atellica Solution (AS) is a platform that incorporates immunoassay and chemistry modules. AS is fitted with a refrigerated storage module (RSM) for internal quality controls (QC). The objective of this study was to assess the maximum permissible storage time in AS for QCs.
Methods: A total of 48 analytes were tested using QC materials: Liquid Assayed Multiqual (MQ), Liquichek Immunology (LI), Liquichek Lipids (LL), and Liquichek Urine Chemistry (UC). The percentage of variation between results (Xt%) was calculated as the difference between the mean value of the triplicate performed at every time point of the study (Xt) and the average of the triplicate performed in the baseline time (Xo). Stability was assessed based on the total change limit (TCL), which combines analytical and biological variation: TCL=±√((1.65 * CVa) + (0.5 * CVb)).
Results: A total of 40 of the 48 analytes tested remained stable at the end of the study. In relation to MQ and UC QCs, 32 of the 39 analytes remained stable for the whole study period (15 days) except for alkaline phosphatase, aspartate aminotransferase, calcium, lactate dehydrogenase, and total bilirubin in MQ, and chlorine and glucose in UC. In LI and LL QCs, eight of the nine analytes were stable throughout the 20 days of the study, except transferrin in LI.
Conclusions: The Atellica Solution refrigerated storage module is a reliable system for the storage of quality control materials.

Having a laboratory renal profile for medical imaging examinations requiring contrast media (CM) administration is strongly advised. Creatinine helps identify patients at risk of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN). The GEM Premier™ ChemSTAT (Werfen) is a point-of-care (POC) analyzer with 12 emergency parameters, including a creatinine assay.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to determine the in vivo correlation of ionized magnesium (iMg) with ionized calcium (iCa), total calcium, albumin and pH. In addition, the analytical interference of iCa on iMg measurement on the Stat Profile Prime Plus (Nova Biomedical) and vice versa was defined.
Methods: In vivo correlation of iCa, iMg and pH was studied in 238 paired blood gas samples of 109 different patients admitted to the intensive care unit.

Objectives: The aims of this study were to verify the bile acids (BA) method and to establish reference intervals (RIs) for bile acids (BA) and biochemical and haematological parameters in Croatian pregnant women.
Methods: BA spectrophotometric method verification was performed on Siemens Atellica Solution CH 930 automated analyser using Sentinel reagent. Stability, precision, trueness, linearity, and RIs, as well as lipemia interference were tested according to CLSI guidelines.

Objectives: The cardiac biomarkers high sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI) and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) are utilised in paediatric healthcare for the diagnosis and prognostic assessment of many conditions including myocarditis, congenital heart disease, multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) and heart failure. However, the standardised age-related reference intervals, 99th percentile cut-offs and clinical guidelines are not available, making the interpretation of these biomarkers challenging. This study aimed to generate normative data in a paediatric cohort for the Siemens Atellica IM 1300 analyser.
