The study found that increasing the number of repeated tests can reduce the coefficients of variation (CVs) in measuring plasma biomarkers associated with Alzheimer's disease, ensuring reliable results.
Introduction Concentrations of plasma biomarkers associated with Alzheimer's disease have been reported to be as low as several tens of picograms/milliliter (pg/ml). However, in assays measuring these biomarkers, it is likely that repeated measurements are necessary to obtain reliable values. Methods We performed assays as a single test or as duplicate, quadruplicate, fivefold and tenfold repeated tests, on samples spiked with different concentrations of amyloid beta 1-40 (A beta(1-40); 1-1000 pg/ml), A beta(1-42) (1-30,000 pg/ml) and total Tau protein (T-Tau; 0.1-1000 pg/ml), with the aim to to calculate the coefficients of variation (CVs). Results The results demonstrated common changes in the CVs with changes in the number of tests for a given sample: the CVs decreased with increases in the number of tests from one to ten. All CV values were distributed within the range of 0.35 to 15.5%; as such, the CV values were all lower than the acceptable value of 20%. Conclusion Based on this study, a single assay of A beta(1-40), A beta(1-42) and T-Tau, respectively, provides reliable results in terms of the measurement of that plasma biomarker.
