VISD Explanation: After some research, VISD seems to be a silicone planar photodiode used in the detection of molecules. HPLC-PDA (photodiode array) is typically used for molecule detection, it seems like here they're just using the name of the photodiode here for some reason. First I found it here: https://www.labor-gaertner.de/fileadmin/user_upload/Dokument... Page 3, Test technique HPLC/UV/VISD. Then I started looking for a test technique and found there's a product called VISD made by World Precision Instruments and it's a model of silicon photodiode detector: https://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/document?repid=rep1&type=pdf&d... https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/analsci/14/4/14_4_809/_... http://nathan.instras.com/documentDB/paper-195.pdf If you google "wpi visd detector", a bunch of articles that use it to detect different molecules pop up. And then here's an article showing that aldosterone can be detected using a photodiode: https://patents.google.com/patent/US20200124622A1/en It's the only thing that makes sense to me. But it is a guess, because I'm not sure why they would put it in the units column (unless there's not a better place) or whether there are techniques listed for other parameters. Good luck! |

| Reference: median plasma aldosterone concentration (PAC) normal range: 30–160 pg / mL Reference information: Plasma aldosterone levels are associated with increased cardiovascular mortality: the Ludwigshafen Risk and Cardiovascular Health (LURIC) study. https://academic.oup.com › article Andreas Tomaschitz · 2010 · — Median plasma aldosterone concentration (PAC) was 79.0 (48.0–124.0) pg/mL (normal range: 30–160) in 3153 patients [median age: 63.5 (56.3–70.6) years; 30.1% women] who had undergone coronary angiography. |
