Qualification Phase

The qualification phase assists in establishing early preliminary acceptance criteria.

Recommended qualification parameters:

• Specificity: Specific evaluation of a test component or reference sample while in the presence of other components.
• Accuracy: Closeness or exactness between an accepted true value and an accepted reference value.
• Linearity: Ability to obtain test results directly proportional to concentration/amount of analyte.
• Range: Interval between the UPPER and LOWER concentration/amount of analyte.
• Limit of Detection: Lowest concentration/amount in a test component that CAN BE DETECTED but NOT QUANTIFIED.
• Limit of a Quantitation: Lowest concentration/amount in a test component that CAN BE QUANTIFIED.
• Precision Repeatability: Precision under the same operating conditions over a short interval of time.
• Robustness: Measure of its capacity to remain unaffected by small but deliberate variations in method parameters.
