  1. Standardization of NATExtraction Methods Paul D. Neuwald, PhD AcroMetrix Corporation, Benicia, CA SoGAT XVIII Bethesda, MD, USA May 24, 2005

  2. Standardization of NAT Extraction MethodsOverview Potential sources of variation in NAT assays: Specimen type Platform / Procedure Operator / Laboratory Calibrators / Standards Assay reagents Extraction method

  3. Standardization of NAT Extraction MethodsOverview Potential sources of variation in NAT assays: Specimen type Platform / Procedure Operator / Laboratory Calibrators / Standards Assay reagents Extraction method

  4. Example: CMV Assay Comparison StudyStudy Design Each participating laboratory: Extracted CMV positive reference panel members using its standard method for clinical specimens Tested the panel members as unknowns in replicates of 4 using its standard CMV DNA assay method and calibrators Returned quantification results for analysis and comparison to results from other labs (N = 23)

  5. Example: CMV Assay Comparison StudyReference Panel OptiQuant™ CMV DNA Panel *Value assignment based upon quantification using the COBAS AMPLICOR CMV MONITOR® Test

  6. CMV DNA Assay Comparison StudyInterlaboratory Comparison Overall Results for 23 Laboratories

  7. CMV DNA Assay Comparison StudyInterlaboratory Comparison Examples from 3 Individual Laboratories

  12. Standardization of NAT Extraction MethodsFuture Considerations Need for better controlled collaborative studies to compare extraction methods for: Different specimen types / calibrators Different platforms / instruments / procedures Different assay methods / reagents Different operators / laboratories Initially, conduct a study that focuses on comparing extraction methods for one specimen type, on one platform, using common calibrators and reagents AcroMetrix is willing to coordinate such a study
