چکیده
OBJECTIVES To assess the performance of the Doumas bilirubin reference method. DESIGN AND METHODS Ring trails using pooled patient specimens, a calibrator and human sera enriched with unconjugated bilirubin were analyzed in five laboratories using the Doumas bilirubin reference method. RESULTS The coefficient of variation for the linear measurement range between laboratories ranged from 1-3%. CONCLUSIONS The Doumas bilirubin reference method is robust and reproducible. Bilirubin results using this method may be used in the development of more accurate and reliable calibrators.

Bilirubin standardization in the Netherlands: alignment within and between manufacturers.
In 2008, two manufacturers lowered the values of their bilirubin calibrators: Abbott Laboratories by 18% and Roche by 10%–17% (different values per instrument). Beckman Coulter, Siemens/Bayer, and Siemens/Dade Behring did not restandardize their methods. In 2009, the Dutch External Quality Assessment Organization in Medical Laboratories [Stichting Kwaliteitsbewaking Medische Laboratoria (SKML)]...
متن کاملComparison of direct spectrophotometric determinations of bilirubin with candidate reference method in sera of newborns.
Bilirubin was determined by direct spectrophotometry and by the candidate reference method of Doumas et al. (Clin. Chem. (1985) 31; 1789-1798) in a group of more than 230 newborns, and the results were compared. Direct spectrophotometry by Vink et al. (Clin. Chem. (1988) 34; 67-70) gives the following regression equation in comparison with the reference method: y = 0.967x + 6.57 with r = 0.9874...

Three laboratories in the U.S. and two in the Netherlands determined molar absorptivities (epsilon) of Standard Reference Material (SRM) 916a Bilirubin from the National Institute of Standards and Technology. In caffeine reagent the average epsilon values were 50,060 and 48, 980 L.mol-1.cm-1 at 432 and 457 nm, respectively. The epsilon value of the blue azopigment, obtained with the Reference M...
متن کاملCandidate reference method for determination of total bilirubin in serum: development and validation.
This candidate Reference Method for measuring total bilirubin in serum is based on the Jendrassik-Gróf principle (Clin Chem 29: 297-301, 1983). Standard Reference Material no. 916 bilirubin (National Bureau of Standards) is used as the standard. Bilirubin standard solutions may be prepared either in human serum or in 40 g/L albumin solution (human or bovine), because we found the molar absorpti...
