New outlook for technology of medical laboratory test
Journal Title: Journal of Analytical Bio-Science - Year 2013, Vol 36, Issue 4
Abstract
The background for the technology of a medical laboratory test is very extensive. In this issue, a new outlook for the technology of medical laboratory tests is presented in five feature articles from various viewpoints. The first review article describes the validation of commercial reagent kits for clinical chemistry tests according to the guideline for the validation of quantitative measurements methods by the Committee on Quality Management of the Japan Society of Clinical Chemistry (2011). The second review article summarizes a policy for the best clinical laboratory methods in natural calamities. The third review article describes the specificity of the HTLV-I test. The fourth review article focuses on the stability of a commercial reagent kit for CK measurement. The fifth review article presents a new gene analysis for detection of mycoplasma pneumoniase and macrolide resistance by GENECUBE of automated gene analysis devise. We trust that these articles will provide useful information in the clinical laboratory field.
