Glucose Analysis Comparison | YSI 2900C Biochemistry Analyzer and 2300 STAT PLUS
The YSI 2300 STAT PLUSTM D-glucose (glucose) and Lactate Analyzer is a discontinued Class II in-vitro diagnostics (IVD) medical device widely accepted as a method for reference measurements and system calibration by most manufacturers of blood glucose (BG) monitoring systems.
YSI has developed a new generation analyzer, the YSI 2900C Biochemistry Analyzer, employing the same biosensor technology as the YSI 2300 STAT PLUS but with updated usability features and form factor.
This blog details the findings from a comparative study to evaluate the accuracy and precision of the new YSI 2900C Biochemistry Analyzer platform for whole blood (WB), plasma, and serum.
Methods
To assess comparability and analytical performance, blood samples were taken from volunteers by an on-site phlebotomist.
All samples were tested within a 4-hour period from the blood draw event. The analysis was made on whole blood (WB), Fingerstick Capillary WB, plasma and serum on three YSI 2300 STAT PLUS units, as well as three YSI 2900C Biochemistry Analyzer units. All units tested glucose over a range of glucose levels and hematocrit (% red blood cells in WB).
