Scientific Information Data from Instrument and Reagent Supplier
Testing Technology Method:
Fluorescence quantitative immunoassay
Limit of Detection:
Less than or equal to 10 U/mL.
Accuracy and Precision:
The relative standard deviation from the target value is ≤ 15%. The within assay CV is ≤ 15%. The between assay CV is ≤ 15%.
Measuring Range:
10~400 U/mL
Validation-Active Information:
- EQA: Yes
- Inter-laboratory validations
- Periodic according to validation schedule
- Event-triggered- Qc/Calibration/New materials/Batch
Test Accuracy and Precision:
The accuracy of these tests is based on the relative deviation. The relative deviation is the average deviation from the actual result value.
The precision relies on the within-assay coefficient of variations and the between-assay coefficient. The within-assay coefficient of variations is the variance of the result value if the same test was analysed again. The between assay coefficient is the variance of the result value if the same sample was reprocessed from the beginning again.
In range results:
The reference range for females and males is less than 27 U/mL.
