An assessment of the performance of the IL 368 Clinicard Analyser is given. The methods tested were urea, sugar, bilirubin, aspartate transaminase and creatine kinase. Overall a good precision and correlation with the routine laboratory methods was found. The machine should prove useful for the analysis of frequently requested emergency determinations.
