Precision
Intra-Assay Precision (Precision within an assay) Each control was tested multiple times in one AFP assay.
Inter-Assay Precision (Precision between assays) Replicates of each AFP control were tested in multiple assays performed by at least three technicians using two lots of reagents for human AFP.

Recovery for Simple Plex Human alpha-Fetoprotein/AFP Cartridge
Recovery was not necessary as human AFP shows 5 points of natural linearity.
Linearity
Samples containing and/or spiked with high concentrations of human AFP were serially diluted with Sample Diluent to produce samples within the dynamic range of the assay

Stability & Storage
Background: alpha-Fetoprotein/AFP
alpha-Fetoprotein (AFP), is albuminoid superfamily protein that is synthesized in the fetus primarily by the liver, yolk sac, and tissues of gastrointestinal origin. It is one of the earliest markers of the hepatocyte lineage. AFP acts as a carrier protein for steroids, bilirubin, fatty acids, retinoids, and flavonoids. In addition, it can exert immunosuppressive activity, regulate cell proliferation and apoptosis, initiate intracellular signaling, and contribute to cell invasion. Altered levels of both fetal and maternal AFP have been associated with hypothyroidism, autoimmune disorders, and heart defects. Low maternal serum AFP levels are associated with a higher incidence of Down syndrome, whereas higher levels are associated with spina bifida and anencephaly. Elevated AFP levels are also coincident with liver, stomach, and germ cell cancers.
