Candidate Reference Measurement Procedure for the Quantification of Total Serum Cortisol with LC-MS/MS.
BACKGROUND Accurate measurement of serum cortisol is required to diagnose and treat adrenal disorders. Although certified reference materials (CRMs) are available to standardize cortisol measurements, External Quality Assessment (EQA) schemes still demonstrate a wide dispersion of results. We present a serum cortisol candidate reference measurement procedure that, through analysis of a Joint Co...
متن کاملReference measurement procedure for total glycerides by isotope dilution GC-MS.
BACKGROUND The CDC's Lipid Standardization Program established the chromotropic acid (CA) reference measurement procedure (RMP) as the accuracy base for standardization and metrological traceability for triglyceride testing. The CA RMP has several disadvantages, including lack of ruggedness. It uses obsolete instrumentation and hazardous reagents. To overcome these problems the CDC developed an...
متن کاملYet Another Decision Procedure for Equality Logic
We introduce a new decision procedure for Equality Logic. The procedure improves on Bryant and Velev’s sparse method [4] from CAV’00, in which each equality predicate is encoded with a Boolean variable, and then a set of transitivity constraints are added to compensate for the loss of transitivity of equality. We suggest the Reduced Transitivity Constraints (RTC) algorithm, that unlike the spar...
متن کاملThe need for national diagnostic reference levels: Entrance surface dose measurement in intraoral radiography
Background: Intraoral radiographies are the most frequent X-ray examinations in humans. According to International Commission on Radiation Protection (ICRP) recommendations, the selection of a diagnostic reference level (DRL) should be specific to a country or region. Critica l organs such as thyroid gland are exposed to X-rays in intraoral radiography and these exposures should be kept as low ...
متن کاملModification of the IFCC reference measurement procedure for determination of HbA1c by HPLC-ESI-MS
The reference measurement procedure for determination of HbA(1c) (glycated haemoglobin) using HPLC(high performance liquid chromatography)-ESI(electrospray ionisation)-MS(mass spectrometry) has been modified. Main modifications were a change in the buffer composition of the HPLC, a change in the gradient elution profile and the introduction of a post-column splitting system. The long-term stabi...
