Table 1. Measuring range and precision.

Analyte LoD, ng/mL LLoQ, ng/mL ULoQ, ng/mL Inter-run CV Intra-run CV
CTSD 1.1 5.2 1’125 6.2% (3.9–9.8%) 4.2% (2.8–6.1%)
ICAM1 1.7 12.0 600 4.2% (2.3–5.5%) 6.7% (5.6–8.3%)
OLFM4 2.1 14.8 3’200 13.0% (10.6–19.7%) 7.7% (3.4–14.6%)
THBS1 102 852 368’000 4.2% (3.3–4.8%) 10.5% (9.4–12.5%)

LoD was calculated by adding 3 SD to the mean of 24 blanks. Acceptance criterion for LLoQ and ULoQ was a CV of <25% and <20%. Inter CV was calculated by comparing triplicate measurements of 11 serum samples on 20 different runs over 5 days. Intra CV was defined by measuring 5 serum samples in 18 replicates.
