Anmerkungen | Natriuretic peptide testing – B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) or N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is an important tool for rapidly assessing adults presenting with new suspected acute heart failure. Participants can enrol in the programme most appropriate to their testing method and analyte i.e. laboratory methods for BNP, NT-proBNP or point of care testing (PoCT). Separate samples are provided for BNP and NT-proBNP. PoCT devices are assessed separately to laboratory methods. Three samples covering the appropriate physiological and pathological range including challenging samples near the diagnostic thresholds are distributed bimonthly. The base material for BNP is human EDTA plasma and for NT-proBNP lithium heparin plasma to reflect the preferred sample type used for patient testing. The samples consist of a panel of linearly related samples produced from donations from healthy volunteers spiked with natriuretic peptides. Recombinant human BNP-32 and NT-proBNP respectively are added, with the addition of protease inhibitors to improve stability. For BNP the samples are dispatched by Courier on dry ice, however, multiple distributions can be dispatched in one shipment to minimise costs. Key Features: - Surrogate, clinically appropriate samples at diagnostic thresholds. - Suitable for both Laboratory and PoCT analysers. - Preferred sample type – EDTA plasma or Lithium Heparin plasma. - Linearly related panel covering a clinically relevant range. - Liquid human serum samples require no pre-analytical preparation.
