Automated measurement of 25-OH Vitamin D on the LUMIPULSE^®G1200: analytical verification and method comparison

Abstract

Lumipulse G 25-OH Vitamin D showed a good clinical concordance with the Liaison assay, although overall results measured in Lumipulse were higher by an average of 6.5%.

British Journal of Biomedical Science in 2016. What have we learned?

“…It is tempting to suggest, from this data, that the thyroid influences prostate size, were it not for the well-known fact that correlation does not always imply causation. The Journal has a long history of publishing research into vitamin D [15][16][17][18], and this continues with the report from Parra et al [19], who compared the performance of two different methods for measuring serum levels of this micronutrient. Although there was good overall concordance, one method found levels to one of more of these extracts could have immunomodulator properties, perhaps in stimulating the immune response in immunodeficiency.…”
