ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Apolipoprotein standardization in multiple calibration laboratories requires equivalent results to value assign matrix-based reference and external quality assurance materials. A multiplexed LC-MS/MS-based reference measurement procedure (RMP) has been developed for serum apolipoproteins apo(a), apoA-I, apoB, apoC-I, apoC-II, apoC-III, and apoE. This study … Read more
