K. Standard/Guidance Document Referenced (if applicable):
None identified.
L. Test Principle:
An insoluble turbid immunoprecipitate is formed by the reaction between the apo A1 or apo B antigen in human serum and the specific antibody in the R2 reagent.
Maximum exposure of antigenic sites to which the antibody will bind is achieved by using the R1 reagent. The resulting turbidity is measured spectrophotometrically at 340nm and the apo A1 or apo B in the serum is determined from a calibration curve obtained by using the four level calibrator set used to calibrate the chemistry analyzer.
M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):
1. Analytical performance:
a. Precision/Reproducibility:
Precision studies were performed on 3 different concentrations of apolipoprotein A1 and apolipoprotein B. The within day results were obtained by running two samples in replicas of 20 on the same day. Day to day results were obtained by
