title: Clinical chemistry kits in the CAP survey program.
abstract: Pathologists began evaluating the pattern of use and the performance of clinical chemistry kits among participants in the Chemistry Survey Program. The results show that kits are widely used by all types of laboratories. The agreement among results obtained by kit users parallels the agreement among results obtained by users of manual methods. This agreement is adequate for some constituents and not for others.
