Several clinical laboratories in different regions of Spain have shared the search for reference individuals and the production of reference values for quantities concerning thyrotropin, non-protein bound thyroxine, triiodothyronine, cobalamines and folates, using an Elecsys 2010 analyser. All the logistic work has been done in co-operation with the supplier of the analyser (Roche Diagnostics España, S.L., Barcelona). The reference limits produced in the virtual laboratory are in fact derived from the blend of reference values obtained by each laboratory. The multicentric reference limits were estimated according to the recommendations of the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry. The work done represents a model of co-operation between the in vitro diagnostic industry and clinical laboratories for the production of reference values.
An isosbestic point is observed in overlaid spectra when a chromophoric precursor is converted to a product with a different spectrum, so that it is often assumed that an isosbestic point occurs only when the precursor is quantitatively converted to a single product. We show experimentally and by computer simulations that more complex reactions also exhibit isosbestic points and that the wavelength of the isosbestic point may change. Such wavelength changes will occur if either (i) the molar absorbtivity of the precursor changes or (ii) the fraction of the precursor that is converted to multiple products changes. In the latter case, the isosbestic wavelength and molar absorbtivities of the precursor and product can be used to calculate the fraction of the precursor that is converted to products from the relationship, f = epsilon(Precursor)(M)/epsilon(Product)(M), where f is the fractional conversion, epsilon(Precursor)(M) is the molar absorbtvity of the precursor, and epsilon(Product)(M) is the molar absorbtivity of the product.
