Evaluating the Prototype • EQAS to evaluate performance in loco. • Send 1.8ml of the prototype serum to 25 reference centers in 16 countries in LA. • Included 4 other non diluted not pooled samples to the same panel. • Sep 2007 (OPS0207), Apr 2008 (OPS0108) and Sep 2008 (OPS0208).

Volume Prototype volume available = 1.4 liters 2 times dilution = 2.8 liters It is possible to obtain a total of 6 liters Mexico Units M2 volume available = 400 mL 4 times dilution = 1.6 liters
Conclusion • The mixture of 3 positive samples (from south of Latin America) diluted 4.8 times in negative samples have produced a prototype that presented stability at –20 ºC. • We need to define the reactivity of the cut off value. Here we have used the dilution that is IIF = 1/20. • Reactivity of the prototype diluted 2 times were 2 to 4 times de cutoff value in most of the tests evaluated and the IIF = 1/20. • Perhaps we should submit this prototype to RIPA, Western Blot and Abbott Immunoassay.
