What is the Scientific Data from Instrument and Reagent Supplier?

Technology Method:

Fluorescence quantitative immunoassay

Limit of Detection:

Vitamin B12: 20 pmol/L
Vitamin D: 5.0 ng/L

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 Ranges:

Vitamin B12: 20.00~1500.00 pmol/L
Vitamin D: 5.0~100.0 ng/L

Validation-Active Information:

EQA: Yes
Inter-laboratory validations
- Periodic according to the validation schedule
- Event-triggered- Qc/Calibration/New materials/Batch

Accuracy and Precision:

The accuracy of these Vitamin Blood 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:

Vitamin B12: 118~701 pmol/L
Vitamin D: 30.0~100.0 ng/L
