OBJECTIVES: Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) measurement in pericardial, peritoneal (ascites), and pleural fluids is sometimes requested by clinicians as supportive evidence in the evaluation of suspected malignancy. As commercially available, Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-cleared AFP assays are not validated for these fluid types, laboratories must complete additional validation studies to comply with regulatory requirements for body fluid testing. The objective of this study was therefore to conduct a matrix evaluation for these body fluid types using the Beckman Access AFP assay on the UniCel DxI 800 immunoassay system.
DESIGN AND METHODS: Using an Institutional Review Board (IRB) approved protocol, previously collected pericardial fluid, peritoneal fluid, pleural fluid, and serum specimens were de-identified and frozen at -20 °C prior to matrix evaluation experiments. Spiked recovery, mixed recovery/linearity, and precision studies were conducted.
RESULTS: In spiked and mixed recovery studies, the average percent (%) recovery was within predefined acceptable limits (±15%) for all three body fluids. Linearity was observed over the analytical measurement range (AMR) for all three body fluids (slope, intercept, systematic error): pericardial 0.988, -0.1, 6.1%; peritoneal 0.986, 0.0, 4.1%; and pleural 1.016, 0.0, 1.6%. Imprecision was ≤6.0% CV for all three body fluids at both high and low AFP concentrations.
CONCLUSIONS: Matrix interference with AFP testing was not observed for pericardial, peritoneal, or pleural fluids on the Beckman UniCel DxI 800 system.
