Objective. The study was undertaken to determine if commercially bottled purified water can be used as substitute instrument feed water for three (3) newborn screening immunoassays.
Methdology. A total of 294 control samples and 300 patient samples were included in this study. Accuracy and precision studies using control samples, and parallel testing using patient samples, were done to compare the use of clinical laboratory reagent water (CLRW) and commercially bottled purified water (CBPW) in the performance of automated time-resolved fluorescent immunoassay of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), 17α-OH-progesterone (17-OHP) and immunoreactive trypsinogen (IRT).
Results. The use of CBPW as instrument feed water for measurements of TSH, 17-OHP and IRT levels by automated time-resolved fluorescent immunoassay using AutoDELFIA (Perkin-Elmer) in NBS has an acceptable accuracy and precision compared to using CLRW. The parallel testing using patient samples showed that, overall, the performance of using CBPW in automated time-resolved fluorescent immunoassay for TSH, 17-OHP, and IRT is acceptable, compared with using CLRW as instrument feed water.
Conclusion. Commercially bottled purified water can be used as substitute when setting up a laboratory water purification system is too expensive for a laboratory, or as back up to clinical laboratory reagent water when there is breakdown of the installed water purification system to be used as instrument feed water in automated time-resolved fluorescent immunoassay of TSH, 17-OHP and IRT in NBS using AutoDELFIA (Perkin-Elmer).
