Is the automated Elecsys tacrolimus assay on the Roche cobas e 602 analyzer an acceptable replacement for a liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry–based assay?

Abstract Objectives This study evaluated the suitability and accuracy of the automated Roche Elecsys tacrolimus electrochemiluminescence immunoassay (ECLIA) by comparing it with a current laboratory-developed test by liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Methods The tacrolimus E...

Zusammenfassung:Abstract Objectives This study evaluated the suitability and accuracy of the automated Roche Elecsys tacrolimus electrochemiluminescence immunoassay (ECLIA) by comparing it with a current laboratory-developed test by liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Methods The tacrolimus ECLIA was evaluated for precision, linearity, interference, and postextraction stability. Accuracy was compared with LC-MS/MS. Results The tacrolimus ECLIA assay is precise, exhibits a measuring range of 0.75 to 30 ng/mL, and is tolerant of significant interferences (plasma indices: hemolysis
