Objectives Atellica Solution (AS) is a platform that incorporates immunoassay and chemistry modules. AS is fitted with a refrigerated storage module (RSM) for internal quality controls (QC). The objective of this study was to assess the maximum permissible storage time in AS for QCs. Methods A total of 48 analytes were tested using QC materials: Liquid Assayed Multiqual (MQ), Liquichek Immunology (LI), Liquichek Lipids (LL), and Liquichek Urine Chemistry (UC). The percentage of variation between results (Xt%) was calculated as the difference between the mean value of the triplicate performed at every time point of the study (Xt) and the average of the triplicate performed in the baseline time (Xo). Stability was assessed based on the total change limit (TCL), which combines analytical and biological variation: TCL=±√((1.65 * CVa)2 + (0.5 * CVb)2). Results A total of 40 of the 48 analytes tested remained stable at the end of the study. In relation to MQ and UC QCs, 32 of the 39 analytes remained stable for the whole study period (15 days) except for alkaline phosphatase, aspartate aminotransferase, calcium, lactate dehydrogenase, and total bilirubin in MQ, and chlorine and glucose in UC. In LI and LL QCs, eight of the nine analytes were stable throughout the 20 days of the study, except transferrin in LI. Conclusions The Atellica Solution refrigerated storage module is a reliable system for the storage of quality control materials.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
