Abstract

Background: The Roche Elecsys Vitamin D Total competitive protein-binding assay uses recombinant vitamin D binding protein for measuring 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD), which is different from commonly used antibody assays.

Methods: The assay, standardized against LC-MS/MS, was tested at four sites. Evaluation included precision; between-laboratory variability; functional sensitivity; correlation to LC-MS/MS, HPLC, and immunoassays; as well as robustness, traceability, and EQAS performance.

Results: Precision testing showed within-run coefficient of variations (CVs) of ≤ 7%, within-laboratory CVs of <9.5%, between-laboratory precision CVs of ≤ 10.1%, and a functional sensitivity below 9.8 nmol/l (at CV 12.9%). The assay showed equivalent 25-OHD levels for matched serum and plasma samples, good reagent lot-to-lot consistency in pooled sera over time, and good agreement with HPLC (relative bias -8.8%). Comparison with LC-MS/MS methods yielded relative biases of -15.4, -13.5, -10.2, and 3.2%. Comparison against immunoassays showed a relative bias of 14.5% (DiaSorin Liaison) and -58.2% (IDS-iSYS). The overall mean results in 2 years DEQAS was 102% of the ALTM. In a certified reference patient panel, the average bias was < 4% for the sum of 25-OHD2 and 25-OHD3.

Conclusion: The Elecsys Vitamin D Total assay demonstrated good overall performance and is, according to present standards, very suitable for automated measurement of 25-OHD.
