What is lot-to-lot variation?
Lot-to-lot variation affecting calibrators and reagents is a frequent challenge that limits the laboratory’s ability to produce consistent results over time. This variation is not without clinical consequence and there are several well-documented examples of adverse clinical outcomes.
What is lot-to-lot comparison?
Lot-to-lot kit comparison involves testing positive samples using the old and new kits side-by-side (on the same day). That is, lot-to-lot comparison should be completed before the old kits expire. This may be difficult to do because sometimes kits expire in 2- 4 months.
What is lot-to-lot validation?
Abstract. Lot-to-lot verification is an important laboratory activity that is performed to monitor the consistency of analytical performance over time. In this opinion paper, the concept, clinical impact, challenges and potential solutions for lot-to-lot verification are exained.
What is reagent acceptance testing?
This will involve the testing of new batches of kits or reagents against a range of samples/reagents which will confirm the suitability of that kit or reagent for use. Acceptance testing is to be carried out for each delivery regardless if the same lot number of reagents were previously received.
What is a reagent lot?
Reagent lot-to-lot variation may be defined as a change in the analytical performance of a reagent from one production lot to the next. Here we use the term “lot” to mean a batch of reagent produced by the manufacturer under uniform conditions, and passing as a unit through the same series of processes.

What is batch acceptance laboratory?
NIBTS laboratories will for critical reagents perform batch acceptance tests. This will involve the testing of new batches of kits or reagents against a range of samples/reagents which will confirm the suitability of that kit or reagent for use.

Why is reagent important?
A reagent is an integral part of any chemical reaction. A reagent is a substance or compound that can facilitate a reaction, and they are used in most widely used tests. This includes, for example, pregnancy tests, blood glucose tests, and most COVID-19 test kits.

What is quality control in clinical chemistry?
Quality control is designed to detect, reduce, and correct deficiencies in a laboratory’s internal analytical process prior to the release of patient results.
Why are reagents important in laboratory?
The chemical reaction relies on the reagent to continue the reaction and stops when there is no more substance. The limiting reagents, therefore, dictate when a certain chemical reaction does not continue. Reagents are commonly used in laboratory settings for various tests.
What is lab reagent?
(ree-AY-jent) A substance used to carry out a laboratory test. Reagents may be used in a chemical reaction to detect, measure, or make other substances.
