title: [Walkaway systems in general practice: Behring ELISA Processor III].
abstract: The evaluation of a new Walkaway instrument (Behring Elisa Processor III) for testing HBsAG, anti-HCV and anti-HIV 1/2 in three blood transfusion services with different sample volumes (from 60,000 to 450,000/year) gave the following results: the instrument fulfills the promises of being a real Walkaway system under routine conditions, saving labor and gaining security. The instrument must work in agreement with GLP rules, and all test steps are documented. The organization of the laboratory becomes more transparent and less flexible.
