New VA Blood Analyzer Performs Twelve Tests At Once
A new body chemistry analyzer at the Cleveland VA hospital can run twelve chemical tests from one serum sample. Developed by Dr. Leonard T. Skeggs, VA chief biochemist, the device records calcium and bicarbonate levels, chloride, albumin, alkaline phosphatase, total protein, bilirubin, glucose, sodium, potassium, transaminases, and urea nitrogen on one medical record. The system aims to better distinguish normal from abnormal function to diagnose disease.

Also noted is a parallel feature on Mrs. John Cuthbert, a 21 year old parachutist and volunteer at a relief home near St. Louis.
