In the RA-1000, a random-access discrete analyzer, an inert fluorocarbon fluid is used to prevent interaction and carryover. Production-model instruments were evaluated in two laboratories with respect to determination of glucose, creatinine, total protein, inorganic phosphorus, cholesterol, alkaline phosphatase, lactate dehydrogenase, creatine kinase, gamma-glutamyltransferase, and aspartate and alanine aminotransferases. Within-run, among-run, and day-to-day (for 15 days) precision was assessed, and results were correlated with those obtained by the methods routinely in use in our departments. Precision was excellent, correlation acceptable.
