Fig. 6From: An LC–MS-based designated comparison method with similar performance to the Lp(a) reference measurement procedure to guide molar Lp(a) standardizationSchematic representation of the transition from the former ELISA-based Reference Measurement System (NWLRC, Washington, USA) to an MS-based Reference Measurement System [8] that is in development. The here presented Designated Comparison Method (DCM) will have a key role in the transition phase, in which manufacturers can maintain SRM2B traceability, while abolishing inaccuracy due to multiple misinterpretations around the Lp(a) metricsBack to article page
