A new multiple-channel chemistry analyzer, the Boehringer Mannheim Diagnostic M, was evaluated. This instrument can perform 25 tests at the rate of 120 1.3-ml human serum samples/h. The computer controlled instrument may be run in either a profile mode or single-test mode. In the single-test mode only the necessary reagent is pumped. It demonstrated excellent precision, linearity, lack of interference, ease of operation, and satisfactory comparison with values obtained by the Technicon SMAC, SMA 12/60 and SMA 6/60.
