Area of Science:

Clinical Chemistry
Immunology
Laboratory Medicine

Background:

Serological assay quality control is a persistent challenge.
Existing methods often lack integrated solutions for reagent variation and clinical context.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe a working model for serological assay quality control.
To address problems of reagent lot variation and false-negative results.
To provide solutions for assay interpretation in clinical situations.

Main Methods:

Implementing a Quality Assurance strategy involving lot-to-lot reagent variation assessment.
Utilizing a dynamic, big-data approach for target and limit determination.
Incorporating negative quality control monitoring and commutable external quality assessment (EQA).
Performing clinical assessment of flagged errors and supporting clinician interpretation.

Main Results:

The described quality control model was successfully implemented for twelve months.
Acceptable variation in assay performance was consistently maintained.

Conclusions:

The model prioritizes early detection of reagent lot variation and patient risk over instrument control.
Optimal assay quality control and clinician support are crucial for reducing false results and improving patient diagnosis and monitoring.
This integrated solution addresses a gap in the literature for serological assay quality control.
