Web Portal for the assay analytical validation of biomarkers abided by multinational integrative guidelines

Abstract

Multiple reaction monitoring mass spectrometry (MRM-MS) involves monitoring a multiplexed assay of peptides and associated transitions in mass spectrometry runs. Implemented as a freely available, open-source tool in the platform independent Java programing language, assay Portal computes analytical measures as recommended integrated multinational guidelines – that is clinical assays. Computed measures include

calibration curve, specificity, selectivity, interference, sensitivity, carryover, precision, accuracy, quality control samples, matrix effect, recovery, dilution integrity, and stability. Assay Portal streamlines assay development analytical workflow and therefore minimizes error predisposition. Assay Portal may also be used for performance estimation for MRM-MS assays. Assay Portal is available from http://pnbvalid.snu.ac.kr with sign up procedure only available by manual confirmation.
