International (ASI) at St George's, University of London, UK, has been
evaluating LoGiCal certified reference materials - a new product range from LGC
Standards - for its therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) services, where high
quality reference standards are an essential requirement. The use of high
quality reference materials is equally important for the Company's
international proficiency testing scheme for immunosuppressive drugs,
co-ordinated by Professor David Holt. ASI recently validated the use of LoGiCal
solutions of the immunosuppressant mycophenolic acid (MPA) and antiarrhythmic
amiodarone metabolite desethylamiodarone (DEA) in its assays.
Michelle Moreton-Clack,
TDM Service Manager, explained: "As part of our therapeutic drug monitoring
service, we run assays for the measurement of MPA and DEA. We usually buy the
drugs in powder form and weigh them out to prepare stock solutions for our
assays. The LoGiCal range includes ISO Guide 34 certified solutions of MPA and
DEA, which are really easy to use and save a lot of time by eliminating
weighing stages. We validated both compounds against our existing stock
solutions, and they showed good correlation; I am very pleased with the
results."
