    This study compared serum calcium ion activity measurements between two systems, Orion 99-20 and SS-20. Differences were observed, influenced by electrode changes and system parameters, with low intraindividual variation indicating reliable calcium ion activity analysis.

    Area of Science:

    • Clinical Chemistry
    • Analytical Chemistry
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Accurate measurement of serum calcium ion activity is crucial for diagnosing and managing various medical conditions.
    • Different analytical systems may yield varying results due to technical specifications and electrode compositions.
    • Understanding these differences is essential for consistent clinical interpretation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare serum calcium ion activity measurements between the Orion 99-20 and SS-20 systems.
    • To evaluate the impact of electrode changes on measurement accuracy.
    • To assess the long-term intraindividual variation in serum calcium ion activity determination.

    Main Methods:

    • Serum samples from healthy subjects were analyzed using Orion 99-20 and SS-20 systems.

  • Replicate measurements were performed before and after electrode composition changes.
  • Intraindividual variation was assessed over a five-year interval for a subset of subjects.

    • Main Results:

    • The Orion 99-20 and SS-20 systems showed differences in serum calcium ion activity readings, varying with electrode composition and system parameters.
    • Pre-electrode change difference was 0.048+/-0.017 mmol/liter; post-change difference was -0.085+/-0.027 mmol/liter.
    • Intraindividual variation for serum calcium ion activity over five years was 1.5%, significantly lower than for total calcium (4.8%) or corrected calcium (3.3%).

    Conclusions:

    • Systematic differences exist between Orion 99-20 and SS-20 for serum calcium ion activity.
    • Electrode composition, temperature, flow rate, and junction construction influence measurement outcomes.
    • Serum calcium ion activity measurements demonstrate high intraindividual stability over time, supporting its reliability in clinical monitoring.
