Abstract:

Clinical laboratories should complete the performance verification of the limit of detection(LoD) of qualitative test items,when the manufacturer of in vitro diagnostic reagents only declares the limit of blank(LoB) according to the standards of pharmaceutical institutions. The definitions of LoD and LoB in several medical related institution standards are analyzed,and the similarities and differences are pointed out. C50 concentration and C95 concentration in qualitative test items are correlated with LoB and LoD in quantitative test items.

Key words: Limit of detection, Limit of blank, Cut-off value
