Anmerkungen | Procalcitonin (PCT) has developed into a promising biomarker for identifying serious bacterial infections, to distinguish between bacterial and non-bacterial conditions and to guide antibiotic treatment. The diagnostic accuracy of procalcitonin in detecting infection was found to be useful for early diagnosis of sepsis and subsequent reduction of mortality in critically ill patients. Three liquid human serum samples are distributed monthly, with a minimum of 36 samples distributed over the year covering a wide clinically relevant range. The samples consist of a panel of 6 linearly related samples produced from donations from healthy volunteers spiked with a highly purified source of recombinant PCT to provide an extended clinical range. The programme assesses both laboratory and method performance, including bias, within and between batch imprecision and linearity. Key Features: - Samples provided to cover range of Procalcitonin concentrations seen in both LRTI and systemic bacterial infection or severe sepsis. - Samples suitable for Laboratory and POCT applications. - Panel of linearly related samples produced from donations from healthy volunteers spiked with procalcitonin. - The linearly related samples are distributed on a number of occasions over the year to assess both laboratory and method performance, including linearity, bias, within and between batch imprecision.
