    The document discusses analytical variables that can affect clinical chemistry assay performance and how laboratories ensure quality assurance. Laboratories provide accurate and precise results through defined protocols and quality control programs. Quality control involves measuring analyte concentrations in control sera with predetermined values. Control values outside acceptable limits indicate procedural problems, so patient samples are only analyzed when controls are within ranges. Laboratories also participate in external quality programs to check their results against other laboratories.

    Assay Performance
    Controlling and minimizing factors which affect assay performance involves quality assurance. The goal of the clinical pathology laboratory is to provide accurate and precise results. Quality assurance is achieved by using clearly defined laboratory protocols and a quality control program. Quality control procedures in the clinical chemistry laboratory depend on measuring the concentration of analytes in control sera (with predetermined analyte values). Control values that fall outside predetermined (acceptable) limits usually indicate a procedural problem. In the Clinical Pathology Laboratory at Cornell University, controls are run daily on our chemistry analyzer. Analysis is not performed on patient samples unless the control values are within acceptable ranges. In addition, the laboratory participates in external quality control programs, in which unknown samples are analyzed and the results compared to those of other laboratories that use the same instrumentation. Major deviations of our laboratory's results from the mean indicates a procedural problem, that can be investigated and corrected.
