Abstract:

Objective To establish the analysis performance of serum amyloid A (SAA) detected by latex-enhanced immunonephelometry method with point-of-care test (POCT), and to evaluate precision, linearity, accuracy and so on. Methods According to relevant documents of the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI), the methodological evaluation was performed. Results The sensitivity of this method was 3.52 mg/L. The within-run and inter-day coefficients of variation (CV) of this method were <8% and <10%, respectively, with strong anti-interference ability. When the level of hemoglobin was ≤4.0 g/L, the level of bilirubin was ≤400 μmol/L, the level of rheumatoid factor was ≤1 621 U/L, and the level of triglyceride was ≤10 mmol/L, there was no influence on the results. There was a good correlation with that of imported N Latex SAA assay (Y=1.052 1X+0.001 5, r=0.998 3). The detection linear range of this method was 5-200 mg/L. Conclusions The latex-enhanced immunonephelometry method for SAA is convenient, and it can be finished within 3 min. Its performance meets the requirements for in vitro diagnostic reagents, and it is suitable for the detection of serum samples in clinical use.
