Ensure your laboratory is following best practice guidelines for clinical chemistry and toxicology specimen collection and transport, analysis, storage, and results reporting. CLSI offers clinical chemistry standards and guidelines that cover the latest methods and best practices for clinical chemistry and toxicology testing.
CLSI C38 provides guidelines for patient preparation, specimen collection, transport, and processing for the measurement of trace elements in a variety of biological matrixes.
CLSI C40 provides recommendations on the measurement of lead (Pb) in whole blood, including specimen collection procedures and determination of Pb by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry, anodic stripping voltammetry (based on disposable screen-printed electrode technologies), and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. It also includes quality assurance and quality control guidance and information on proficiency testing programs and laboratory certification.
This document provides guidance to the clinical laboratorian for the reduction of interlaboratory variance and the evaluation of interferences, assay performance, and other pertinent characteristics of clinical assays. This guideline emphasizes particular areas related to assay development and presents a standardized approach for method verification that is specific to mass spectrometry technology.
This guideline describes the design, development, and validation of quantitative assays for proteins and peptides by mass spectrometry.
