The usefulness of validation support reagent in a routine test
Journal Title: Journal of Analytical Bio-Science - Year 2013, Vol 36, Issue 4
Abstract
In a clinical test, validation is indispensable in order to guarantee the reliability of measurement values and the most fundamental point to be checked. A "Guideline for the validation of quantitative measurement methods" was published by the Committee on Quality Management Japan Society of Clinical Chemistry in April, 2011. After this, the validation data for every principle were taken according to the guideline, and these data, 21 items (22 products), were published in booklet for on as the "Validation Result Report." Moreover, these reagents with which validation was performed were named ''Validation-Support Reagents'' in order to clarify its values. The reliability assurance of measurement values has been realized with these reagents.

Stability and reference interval of serum phosphoglucomutase (PGM)
We examined the stability and reference range of serum phosphoglucomutase (PGM) in healthy subjects. Serum obtained from venous blood was stored at -80℃ and 4℃, and the stability of PGM activity was evaluated by measurin...
High sensitive determination of oxysterols in human plasma using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS)
Oxysterols, cholesterol oxidation products, have been important markers for various diseases. For example, it is suggested that 24S-hydroxycholesterol, 27-hydroxycholesterol and 7-ketocholesterol can be used as a marker...
The flushed oxygen combustion method with the biological material for trace analysis of phosphorus, sulfur, and halogen
Phosphorus, halogen and sulfur in samples of the organ were measured using the flushed oxygen combustion method. Phosphorus in the sample of an organ remained in the combustion tube, and revealed its structural character...
Usefulness of Lumipulse Presto Ortho HCV in screening for hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a causative agent of liver disease such as chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. HCV is transmitted primarily via blood contact such as the contaminated syringes used in t...
Monomeric sarcosine oxidase acts on both L- and D-substrates
The stereoselectivity of monomeric sarcosine oxidase (mSox), an enzyme used for creatinine determination, was assayed by using N-methylalanine and proline. As a result, mSox reacted to both L- and D-substrates, although...
