OBJECTIVES: To assess the analytical performance of Beckman Coulter AU5800. DESIGN AND METHODS: Imprecision, linearity and comparison studies were performed on 12 routine clinical chemistry tests. RESULTS: Imprecision was comprised between 0.4 and 3.0%. The linearity was excellent, with regression coefficients always >1.000. The correlation with analogous tests on Unicell DxC ranged from 0.894 and 1.000. The productivity was 4884 tests/h. CONCLUSIONS: We found optimal balance between performance and productivity for the AU5800.
