Suboptimal Handling of Piccolo Samples or Reagent Discs for Consideration in Ebola Response

Operating clinical analyzers within recommended parameters can be challenging during outbreak response. Using the Piccolo Xpress point-of-care blood chemistry analyzer on guinea pig blood, we found that values of many analytes are still readily comparable when samples and reagent discs are handled a...
