Abstract:

Objective To evaluate the performance of seminal plasma biochemical quality control products prepared with glycerol as stabilizer,in order to determine a high quality seminal plasma biochemical quality control product preparation method. Methods Group A used glycerol as stabilizer to prepare seminal plasma biochemical quality control products,and group B used seminal plasma biochemical quality control products directly into seminal plasma. The 2 groups were determined for fructose and neutral alpha-glucosidase,and the homogeneity and stability were evaluated. Daily quality control test and analysis were performed to compare the precisions of the 2 biochemical quality control products. The 2 biochemical quality control products were determined daily,and the precisions of the 2 methods were compared. Results In the homogeneity evaluation test,the F values of seminal plasma fructose and neutral alpha-glucosidase of the 2 groups were <Fcritical value [F0.05(9,10)=3.02]. The homogeneity was good. In the stability evaluation test,the fructose of group A had t<tcritical value [t0.05(5)=2.57] within 29 d after preparation,and the stability was good. The fructose of group B had t>2.57 at the 8th day. The stability was lower than that of group A. The neutral alpha-glucosidase of group A had t<2.57 within 85 d,and the stability was good. The neutral alpha-glucosidase of group B had t<2.57 within 29 d after preparation. The stability was lower than that of group A. The daily quality control results showed that the seminal plasma biochemical quality control results of the 2 groups(above 95%) were distributed within ±2s,and the coefficient of variation(CV) of the quality control data of the 2 items between the 2 groups was <10%. Conclusions The seminal plasma biochemical quality control product formulated with glycerol as stabilizer is more stable than seminal plasma stock solution,and it can be used as a stabilizer of seminal plasma biochemical quality control product.
