Abbott Vision is a technologically advanced chemistry analyzer developed for decentralized testing. About 30 different tests can be performed using disposable test packs containing wet reagents. The instrument was evaluated in a smaller hospital and (except for potassium) good results were obtained with respect to precision and conformity with results from a referral laboratory. The analyzer is considered to be of special advantage in cases of emergency and when there is no laboratory technician on duty. The cost per analysis is much higher, however, than with conventional techniques.
