    A new Blood Ammonia Checker System offers accurate and precise measurements, correlating well with standard methods. This simple device is ideal for urgent blood ammonia testing in laboratory settings.

    Area of Science:

    • Clinical Chemistry
    • Biomedical Instrumentation

    Background:

    • Elevated blood ammonia levels are critical indicators in various medical conditions.
    • Accurate and rapid measurement of blood ammonia is essential for timely diagnosis and patient management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the performance and reliability of a compact Blood Ammonia Checker System.
    • To assess its correlation with established chemical methods for blood ammonia determination.

    Main Methods:

    • A novel reflectometer-based system using bromocresol green indicator reagent plates was employed.
    • Blood ammonia concentrations were measured using the Ammonia Checker and compared against a routine chemical method.
    • Precision was assessed at critical concentrations, and accuracy was verified using predetermined samples.

    Main Results:

    • The Blood Ammonia Checker System demonstrated a strong correlation (r = 0.95) with the routine chemical method, with a regression line of y = 0.835X - 1.468.
    • The system exhibited good precision, with coefficients of variation (CV) less than 10% at critical blood ammonia concentrations.
    • Accurate measurement of predetermined ammonia concentrations was confirmed.

    Conclusions:

    • The compact Blood Ammonia Checker System is a simple, convenient, and reliable tool for blood ammonia measurement.
    • Its accuracy and precision make it well-suited for laboratories requiring urgent blood ammonia testing.
    • The system represents a valuable advancement for rapid clinical diagnostics.
