Use of a reference standard to improve the accuracy and precision of seven kits for determination of ferritin in serum

C Iacobello, S Ghielmi, S Belloli, P Arosio and A Albertini

We assessed the accuracy and precision of seven commercial kits for serum ferritin. The concentration of ferritin as determined by these assays for a liver ferritin reference standard, a human heart ferritin standard, and normal sera correlated highly, but the absolute values varied widely. Use of an international reference standard for ferritin to prepare the standard curve greatly diminished the variability, but did not eliminate it. Although the seven kits differed in specificity for various human isoferritins, this did not appear substantially to affect accuracy. Six of the seven kits appeared sufficiently precise for clinical use over a wide range of ferritin concentrations.
