Assay | Units | Manufacter’s Upper Limit Claim | Observed Upper Limit | Recovery |
---|---|---|---|---|
ALP | U/L | 1500 | 1600 | 107% |
Lactate | mmol/L | 10 | 16.5 | 165% |
Prealbumin | mg/dL | 80 | 60 | 75% |
U-Glucose | mg/dL | 700 | 970 | 138% |
CSF-Glucose | mg/dL | 800 | 1000 | 125% |
Analytes with deviations > ±20% above or below the manufacturer’s claimed upper limit of the analytical measurement range. Values recovered from Verichem linearity material for ALP, Lactate, U-Glu and CSF-Glu. Beckman Coulter control material was used for Prealbumin.
