Abstract
OBJECTIVES: This study was designed to validate the analytical performance of the new Gentian particle-enhanced enhanced turbidimetric immunoassay (PETIA) for measuring neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) in serum samples.
DESIGN AND METHODS: Analytical validation of the Gentian NGAL assay was carried out on a Roche Cobas c501 and was based on assessment of limit of blank (LOB), limit of detection (LOD), functional sensitivity, imprecision, linearity and concordance with the BioPorto NGAL test.
RESULTS: The LOB and LOD of Gentian NGAL were found to be 3.8 ng/mL and 6.3 ng/mL, respectively. An analytical coefficient of variation (CV) of 20% corresponded to a NGAL value of 10 ng/mL. The intra-assay and inter-assay imprecision (CV) was between 0.4 and 5.2% and 0.6 and 7.1% and the total imprecision (CV) was 3.7%. The linearity was optimal at NGAL concentrations between 37 and 1420 ng/mL (r=1.00; p<0.001). An excellent correlation was observed between values measured with Gentian NGAL and BioPorto NGAL in 74 routine serum samples (r=0.993). The mean percentage bias of the Gentian assay versus the Bioporto assay was +3.1% (95% CI, +1.6% to +4.5%).
CONCLUSIONS: These results show that Gentian NGAL may be a viable option to other commercial immunoassays for both routine and urgent assessment of serum NGAL.
