Reference: 1. MESOMARK Assay Product Insert (1/2007)
SMRP values were determined on 1086 specimens; the sample distribution is shown below.
In our studies, 99% of the healthy subjects had SMRP levels at or below 1.5 nM. It is recommended that each laboratory establish its own reference value for the population of interest.
The MESOMARK assay precision is <15% total CV. A precision study was performed in which 3 panels were assayed, using 2 kit lots, in replicates of 2 at 2 separate times per day for 20 days at two sites. Below is a summary of the data collected from this study.
The sensitivity of the MESOMARK assay is 0.3 nM. Analytical sensitivity corresponds to the upper limit of the 95% confidence interval of the zero calibrator and represents the lowest concentration of antigen that can be distinguished from zero.
