RESEARCH AND APPLICATION OF LABORATORY MEDICINE REFERENCE MEASUREMENT SYSTEM

The construction of laboratory medicine reference measurement system is an important guarantee for the traceability of medical laboratory test results, and is also an important basis for achieving standardization and mutual recognition of results. Over the past half century, a laboratory medicine reference measurement system structured around reference measurement procedures, reference materials and reference measurement laboratories has been basically formed and gradually improved. In the past 10 years, the development of China's medical reference measurement laboratories has made significant progress, but the research on reference measurement procedures and reference materials lags behind. The six papers published in the special topic "Research and Application of Reference Measurement Systems in Laboratory Medicine" respectively deal with standardization of clinical chemistry, establishment of reference measurement procedures and uncertainty assessment, development of reference materials and evaluation of matrix effects, and the application of reference measurement systems in in vitro diagnosis. Products (IVD) and applications in laboratory quality evaluation are introduced, hoping to provide reference for further promoting the research and application of Chinese medical reference measurement systems.
