"The use of biosensors in predicting meat quality can be comparably effective to traditional analytical methods. Analyses with biosensors are simplified and time saving; furthermore, the amount of research material needed is small and does not force a violation of the product structure. A positive correlation was shown between triglyceride levels, glucose, lactic acid and the degree of natural drip loss and the L*, a* and b* color components, indicating the usefulness of a multi-parameter biosensor assessment in determining meat quality. More experiments should be performed to evaluate the biochemical parameters of muscle juice in different pork quality and processed meat in different environments. The use of biosensor technology can significantly improve meat quality assessment and reduce the cost of testing in meat plants and slaughterhouses. However, further work is required to develop new indicator standards characterizing quality classes and defects."

"This study demonstrated the Accutrend® Plus meter provides results that correlate strongly with the reference method, with low bias, when used in late pregnancy."

"Substantial proportions of ED patients have undiagnosed and undertreated hypercholesterolaemia and/or HT. GP referral initiated interventions for many patients with hypercholesterolaemia, but fewer with HT. The ED has potential as a useful venue for the opportunistic screening of hypercholesterolaemia."

"The capillary lactate level determined by the portable lactate analyzer (Accutrend Plus) correlated well with arterial lactate level. This method, when used cautiously, may be used to monitor septic shock treatment as an alternative to the standard arterial lactate determination."

"Dyslipidemias may play a relevant role in the mental health of young adults and highlight the importance of incorporating metabolic risk assessment into strategies to prevent and address depression in medical students."

"The average plasma cholesterol concentration was 5.2 ± 1.2 mmol/L. The mean absolute relative difference (MARD) of the five cholesterol self-tests ranged from 6 ± 5% (Accutrend Plus) to 20 ± 12% (Mylan Mytest). The Accutrend Plus cholesterol meter showed the best diagnostic performance with a 92% sensitivity and 89% specificity. The Qucare and Mission 3-in-1 are able to measure HDL concentrations and can thus provide a cholesterol:HDL ratio. The Passing-Bablok regression analyses for the ratio showed poor performance in both self-tests (Mission 3-in-1: y = 1.62x-1.20; Qucare: y = 0.61x + 1.75). The Accutrend Plus is unable to measure the plasma high-density lipoprotein concentration.Conclusions/interpretation: The Accutrend Plus cholesterol meter (Roche) had excellent diagnostic and analytic performance. However, several of the commercially-available self-tests had considerably poor accuracy and diagnostic performance and therefore do not meet the required qualifications, potentially leading to erroneous results. Better regulation, standardization and harmonization of cholesterol self-tests is warranted."

"Our results shows low accuracy and low precision with VEN / CAP measurements of lactate compared to reference GEM [GEM premier 4000]."

"The accuracy, reliability and linearity in two hand-portable lactate analyzers, the Accutrend Lactate (AL) and the Lactate Pro (LP) versus the EBIO plus analyzer (EP) were evaluated. For accuracy, duplicate samples recorded on both the AL and LP revealed an overall average difference versus EP (P < 0.05). The limits of agreement between AL and EP were -0.7 to +1.0, and -1.3 to +1.5 mM between LP and EP. Reliability of AL and LP was assessed at different lactate concentrations; coefficient of variation ranged between 1.8 and 3.3% for AL and between 2.8 and 5.0% for LP. AL and LP had a good reliability for intra-, inter-analyzers, and between test strips (ICC r = 0.999). The linearity was determined versus the EP as reference. The slope coefficient of AL (1.0394) was closer to 1 than that of LP (1.1053). On these bases, AL and LP can be individually considered suitable for the sports research field."

"We found that evidence for two of the devices mostly met the requirements of the NCEP standard of evidence for bias and precision and could be recommended to general practitioners to use in the NHS Health Check programme. These were the Cholestech LDX and the Cobas b101 system."

This study evaluated the accuracy and precision of the Accutrend Plus system for measuring blood glucose, total cholesterol, and triglycerides in 53 adults compared to laboratory analysis. While the system significantly overestimated glucose and triglyceride levels, it demonstrated high reproducibility and strong concordance with laboratory methods. Furthermore, the device showed high sensitivity in detecting elevated metabolic markers. The results suggest that despite a tendency toward overestimation, this portable analyzer is a valid alternative for monitoring metabolic disorders and cardiovascular risk factors.

"Day-to-day reproducibility of the Accutrend Plus device for TC and TG is not optimal and lacks accuracy when compared to the reference laboratory method. The concordance between both methods for classifying subjects according to the NCEP is inadequate. Accutrend Plus device should not be interchangeably used as a substitution for the standard laboratory methods in the diagnosis of hyperlipidemia."
