  • Other Comments:

    The authors present a brief case of study to analyze the accuracy of two commercial blood uric acid meters, MultiSure and BeneCheck Pluse Meter, on blood uric acid level measurement. The authors consider eleven volunteers and perform statistical analyses of the experiments under different considerations. Although the reduced number of participants, the results are statistical funded and are well justified. The paper is technically correct, and structure and English are satisfactory. As a conclusion, the paper is of interest as a brief particular case of study of two commercial blood uric acid meters.

    This paper compared the measurement accuracies for two commercial blood uric acid meters with support using standard statistics.  The results are good and the structure is well-organized for publication.

    This paper (title with the accuracy of commercial blood unic acid meters on blood unic acid level measurements) is comparing 2 commercial blood uric acid meters with the gold standard method.  After carefully reading the paper,I thought the paper was well written. It provided a good statistical analysis to draw a  valuable conclusion. I, therefore, suggest that this paper should be accepted for publishment.

    This is a well organized paper. The author pointed out that commercial blood uric acid meter may not be able to reflect the real blood uric acid level of a user. This paper is good enough for publication.
