Dear colleagues,

Could I ask Beckman LX/DX users about their satisfaction with EQAS results for protein,albumin and triglycerides. These all read lower than the all lab mean for the 3 chemistries on the 3 EQAS schemes in which we participate. Can I ask if any Beckman user has checked out whether this occurs on patient samples as well or is it just a matrix effect?

All suggestions gratefully received.
