Bioanalytical calibration curves: proposal for statistical criteria

Abstract

Curve fitting procedures for bioanalytical assays are based on classical linear least squares (LSE) theory. A common procedure is to select among various models and weighting factors using the R2 as a goodness-of-fit criterion. It is questionable whether R2 is the most appropriate criterion for model selection. This is compounded by an often subjective removal of outliers. In this article, statistical curve fitting and diagnostic criteria are proposed. The fitting procedure is a Box-Cox-type power transformation of the data. The optimal transformation is obtained as the one that minimises the sum of squared deviations. Potential outlying standards are screened during the diagnostics stage as those whose jackknife percent deviations exceed 20%. The main advantage of this method is that it is objective and uniformly applicable across analytical techniques. Furthermore, the optimal transformation obtained in this way is unique. The results are demonstrated by comparing the power model to the R2 approach through the statistical analysis of 2094 analytical batches for 91 projects using various analytical techniques, namely GC, HPLC, LCMS and GCMS. The results indicate that the power model is robust and that QC batch acceptance using...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
