Performance verification of a new domestic chemiluminescence detection system.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Procalcitonin (PCT) is an acute phase response protein, which can be used as an indicator for early diagnosis of infection. At present, the main detection methods for PCT are electrochemiluminescence and enzyme-linked immunofluorescence. We aimed to explore the accuracy of PCT determination in a domestic chemiluminescence detection system and its correlation with other systems.

Methods

Clinical specimens were collected, and the precision, linearity, biological reference interval, contamination rate, Clinical reportable scope, and methodological comparison of the determination of PCT in a Chinese chemiluminescence detection system were evaluated and preliminarily verified by referring to Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) documents or industry stand
