THE VALIDATION PROTOCOL USED FOR BIO-RAD TESEE TEST: A PRACTICAL APPROACH
Abstract
The present studies have the purpose to in house validation of the BioRad TeSeE ELISA test used for rapid TSE diagnosis. The samples used was: bovine brain homogenate, positive control, negative control and blank sample. The result of performance parameters evaluated from bovine brain homogenate was: repeatability 0.0108; intermediate precision 0.0247; accuracy 100%, Chi square almost absolute 0.00; sensitivity 100%; specificity 100%; linearity present, detection limit arbitrary estimated at dilution 1/8 and quantification limit at dilution 1/4. Considering this results, the validation protocol fulfill the quality management requirements.a) Authors retain copyright and grant the journal right of first publication with the work simultaneously licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution License that allows others to share the work with an acknowledgement of the work's authorship and initial publication in this journal.
