using clinical specimens. Also presented in these figures,are the equations of the regression lines (y=mx +b) as well asthe correlation coefficient (R), the number of points in thestudy (N), and the standard error of the estimate (Syx).The BUN test correlation data which are shown in Figure 8indicate excellent correlation with the SMA 12/60 withslopes near and a correlation coefficient exceeding 0.99.The LDH data are shown in Figure 9 and similar conclusionscan be drawn. Finally, the cholesterol correlation data areshown in Figure 10 and also indicate excellent performanceversus the reference method.

Correlations with reference methods are excellent andthe C.V.’s obtained by means of these dry strips are compa-rable to other methodology currently considered acceptableby the medical community. Standard methods have alsobeen compared against one another and the correlationscurves were, in general, similar to those achieved with thestrip tests. It is concluded, that this technology is highlypromising. However, it mustbe emphasised that it is prom-ising only if the systems are dry and self-contained. Sincethey offer no significant improvement in analytical cap-ability, the dry systems’ major advantages are convenience,simplicity and storageability. However, these are highlysignificant advantages and the authors are working to achievea more complete battery of tests. In conclusion, this andrelated technology represent the imminent future of clinicalchemical analyses.

Notes }or ContributorsPresentation ,of manuscripts

Manuscripts sh,oul.d be typed (double-spaced)on one side ofthe paper .only and with generous margins. The .title shouldbe brief and informative avoiding the word "new" and itssynonyms. The full list of authors with their affiliations andfull address(es) should appear on the title page. On a separatesheet an abstract of no more than 150 words is required. Thisshould succinctly describe the scope of the contribution andhighlight significant findings or innovations. It should bewritten in a style which can easily be translated into Frenchand German.

The Concise Oxford Dictionary and Fowler’s ModernEnglish Usage (both published by Oxford University Press)should be used as the standard for spelling and grammar.Abbreviations should be limited to those generallyrecognised, or where a frequently occuring term isabbreviated it should, in the first instance, be explained thus"flow injection analysis (FIA) ..." and the abbreviation usedthereafter. Abbreviations, for standard measures and unitsshould follow SI recommendations. There are various pub-lications giving guidance on the use of SI units.

References should be indicated in the text by numeralsfollowing the author’s name, i.e. Skeggs [6]. On a separatesheet of paper, list all references in numerical order thus:[6] Skeggs, L.T., American Journal of Clinical Pathology,

1959, 28, 311.Note that journal titles are given in full. Where there is more

than one author, the form Foreman et al. should be used inthe text but all authors should be named in the list ofreferences. When reference is made to a chapter in a book thereference should take the following form:[7] Malmstadt, H.V. in "Topics in Automatic Chemistry"

Ed. Stockwell P.B. and Foreman J.K. 1978 Horwood,Chichester, pp. 68-70.

Only work which has been published or has been acceptedfor publication should be cited. Avoid the citation ofdocuments which are subject to restricted circulation, patentliterature, unpublished work and personal communications.The latter can be mentioned in the text in parenthesis.To illustrate a paper line diagrams are preferred to photo-

graphs. Photographs should only be used when theysignificantly add to the discussion. Diagrams, charts andgraphs should be carefully drawn in black ink on stout cardor heavy quality tracing paper. Most illustrations are reducedfor publication; to allow for this originals should be between16 and 36 cm wide (the depth must not exceed 50 cm). Thelettering of diagrams sholald be sufficiently clear to withstandreduction. Except in the case of proper names, all letteringshould be in lower case print. If photographs are used theymust be supplied in the form of clear, unmounted, glossy,black and white prints. "Instant" photographs are notnormally acceptable. All illustrations must be identified onthe reverse showing the figure number and the author’sname.

Each illustration should have a fully explanitory caption.Captions should be typed together on a separate sheet ofpaper; they must not be an inseparable part of theillustration.
