High-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) assays provide high sensitivity detection of myocardial injury. Although an assay using whole blood can reduce turn-around-time and labour, hs-cTn assays using whole blood samples are novel requiring characterization of their analytical performance.
The imprecision of Pylon hs-cTnI assay was evaluated with whole blood, plasma and commercial quality control samples. The limit of quantitation (LOQ) of whole blood samples and plasma were determined for the Pylon hs-cTnI assay. The correlation between the Pylon hs-cTnI assay and the Abbott Architect hs-cTnI assay was evaluated using whole blood samples and plasma.
The average concentrations of pooled patient plasma were 8.3, 15.0 and 396.9 ng/l, while the corresponding CVs of repeatability and within-laboratory CVs were calculated respectively as 7.6% and 9.9%, 4.3% and 4.5%, and 3.3% and 4.5%. LOQ (20% CV) was 1.2 ng/l in plasma and 2.0 ng/l in whole blood. The lowest concentrations to reach 10% CV were 4.8 ng/l with plasma and 9.4 ng/l with whole blood. Quantification of whole blood and corresponding plasma samples correlated with no effect by hematocrits ranging from 25 to 44%.
The analytical performance of the Pylon hs-cTnI assay with whole blood is comparable to that of a clinical lab instrument.
高敏心肌肌钙蛋白(hs-cTn)检测可实现对心肌损伤的高灵敏度检测。尽管使用全血的检测方法可以缩短周转时间并减少人力,但使用全血样本的hs-cTn检测方法尚属新颖,需要对其分析性能进行表征。
使用全血、血浆和商业质量控制样本评估Pylon hs-cTnI检测的不精密度。确定Pylon hs-cTnI检测中全血样本和血浆的定量限(LOQ)。使用全血样本和血浆评估Pylon hs-cTnI检测与雅培Architect hs-cTnI检测之间的相关性。
合并患者血浆的平均浓度分别为8.3、15.0和396.9 ng/l,而重复性的相应变异系数(CV)和实验室内CV分别计算为7.6%和9.9%、4.3%和4.5%、3.3%和4.5%。血浆中LOQ(20% CV)为1.2 ng/l,全血中为2.0 ng/l。达到10% CV的最低浓度,血浆为4.8 ng/l,全血为9.4 ng/l。全血和相应血浆样本的定量具有相关性,血细胞比容在25%至44%范围内无影响。
Pylon hs-cTnI全血检测的分析性能与临床实验室仪器相当。
