Introduction
Beginning in 1988, the National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST) has coordinated the Micronutrients Measurement
Quality Assurance Program (MMQAP) for laboratories that measure
fat- and water-soluble vitamins and carotenoids in human serum and
plasma. The MMQAP provides participants with measurement
comparability assessment through use of interlaboratory studies,
Standard Reference Materials (SRMs) and control materials, and
methods development and validation. Serum-based samples with
assigned values for the target analytes (retinol, alpha-tocopherol,
gamma/beta-tocopherol, trans- and total beta-carotene, and total
ascorbic acid) and performance-evaluation standards are distributed
by NIST to laboratories for analysis.
Participants use the methodology of their choice to determine
analyte content in the control and study materials. Participants
provide their data to NIST, where it is compiled and evaluated for
trueness relative to the NIST value, within-laboratory precision,
and concordance within the participant community. NIST provides the
participants with a technical summary report concerning their
performance for each exercise and suggestions for methods
development and refinement. Participants who have concerns
regarding their laboratory’s performance are encouraged to consult
with the MMQAP coordinators.
All MMQAP interlaboratory studies consist of individual units of
batch-prepared samples that are distributed to each participant.
For historical reasons these studies are referred to as “Round
Robins”. The MMQAP program and the nature of its studies are
described elsewhere. [1,2]
Round Robin L: Fat-Soluble Vitamins and Carotenoids in Human
Serum
Participants in the MMQAP Fat-Soluble Vitamins and Carotenoids
in Human Serum Round Robin L comparability study (hereafter
referred to as RR15) received three lyophilized and two
liquid-frozen human serum test samples for analysis. Unless
multiple vials were previously requested, participants received one
vial of each serum. These sera were shipped on dry ice to
participants in June 2001. The communication materials included in
the sample shipment are provided in Appendix A.
Participants are requested to report values for all fat-soluble
vitamin-related analytes that are of interest to their
organizations. Not all participants report values for the target
analytes, and many participants report values for non-target
analytes.
The final report delivered to every participant in RR15 consists
of three documents:
• A cover letter for the current study, a brief description of
the other two documents, and a discussion of our analysis of the
overall results that may be of broad interest. This cover letter is
reproduced as Appendix B.
• The “All-Lab Report” that lists all of the reported
measurement results, a number of consensus statistics for analytes
reported by more than one participant, and the mean median and
pooled SD from any prior distributions of the serum. This report
also provides a numerical “score card” for each participant’s
measurement comparability for the more commonly reported analytes.
This report is reproduced as Appendix C.
1
-
• An “Individualized Report” that graphically analyzes each
participant’s results for all analytes reported by at least five
participants. This report also provides a graphical summary of
their measurement comparability. The graphical tools used in this
report are described in detail elsewhere [3]. An example
“Individualized Report” is reproduced as Appendix D.
Round Robin 15: Vitamin C in Human Serum
Participants in the MMQAP Vitamin C in Human Serum Round Robin
15 comparability study (hereafter referred to as RR15) received
three frozen serum test samples and a solid ascorbic acid control
material for analysis. Unless multiple vials were previously
requested, participants received one vial of each material. These
sample materials were shipped on dry ice to participants in June
2001. The communication materials included in the sample shipment
are provided in Appendix E.
The test serum materials were prepared by adding equal volumes
of 10 % metaphosphoric acid (MPA) to human serum that had been
spiked with ascorbic acid. While these samples contain some
dehydroascorbic acid, its content is variable. Therefore, the
participants report only total ascorbic acid (TAA, ascorbic acid
plus dehydroascorbic acid). Participants are also encouraged to
prepare calibration solutions from the supplied solid control to
enable calibrating their serum measurements to the same reference
standard.
The final report delivered to every participant in RR15 consists
of three documents:
• A cover letter for the current study, a brief description of
the other two documents, and a discussion of our analysis of
overall results that may be of broad interest. This cover letter is
reproduced as Appendix F.
• The “All-Lab Report” that summarizes all of the reported
measurement results and provides several consensus statistics. This
report is reproduced as Appendix G.
• An “Individualized Report” that graphically analyzes each
participant’s results for TAA, including a graphical summary of
their measurement comparability. The graphical tools used in this
report are described in detail elsewhere [3]. An example
“Individualized Report” is reproduced as Appendix H.

Dear Colleague:
UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE National Institute of
Standards and Technology Gaithersburg, Maryland 20899-0001
Enclosed is the set of samples for the second quality assurance
round robin exercise (Round Robin L) for 2001. You will find one
vial of each of three lyophilized and two liquid-frozen serum
samples for analysis along with a form for reporting your results.
When reporting your results, please submit one value for each
analyte for a given serum sample. If an obtained value is below
your limit of quantitation, please indicate this result on the form
by using NQ (Not Quantitated). For" analytes not measured, please
leave a blank. Results are due to NIST by September 14, 2001.
Results received two weeks after the due date will not be included
in the summary report for this round robin study. The feedback
report concerning the study will be provided around
mid-October.
Lyophilized samples should be reconstituted with 1.0 mL of
HPLC-grade water or equivalent. We recommend that dissolution be
facilitated with 3 to 5 min agitation in an ultrasonic bath or at
least 30 min at room temperature with intermittent swirling.
(CAUTION: Vigorous shaking will cause foaming and possibly
interfere with accurate measurement.· The rubber stopper contains
phthalate esters that will leach into the sample upon intermittent
contact of the liquid sample with the stopper. These esters absorb
strongly in the UV region and elute near retinal in most LC systems
creating analytical problems.) Pipette a known volume of serum from
the vial for analysis. (The final volume of the reconstituted
sample is greater than 1.0 mL). Liquid-frozen samples 274 and 275
should not be reconstituted.
For consistency, we request that laboratories use the following
absorptivities (E 1 % cm) in ethanol: retinal, 18~3 at 325 nm;
retinyl palmitate, 975 at 325 nm; a-tocopherol, 75.8 at 292 nm;
y-tocopherol, 91.4 at 298 nm; a-carotene, 2800 at 444 nm (in
hexane); P-carotene, 2560 at 450 nm (in ethanol), 2592 at 452 nm
(in hexane); lycopene, 3450 at 472 nm (in hexane).

Dear Colleague:
UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE National Institute of
Standards and Technology Gaithersburg, Maryland 20899-
Enclosed is the summary report of the results for Round Robin L
(RR 50) for fat-soluble vitamins and carotenoids. Included in this
report are: a summary of data for all laboratories; the measurement
comparability summary for evaluating laboratory performance;
lyophilized vs. fresh-frozen commutability data, a summary of
individual laboratory performance and interlaboratory accuracy and
precision; and a summary of the NIST assigned value (NA V) vs. your
laboratory value for the analytes that you measured. As in previous
reports, the NIST-assigned values are equally weighted means of the
medians from this interlaboratory comparison exercise and the means
from the analyses performed by NIST.
Data for evaluating laboratory performance in RR 50 are provided
in the comparability summary (Score Card) on page 6 of the "All Lab
Report." Laboratory comparability is summarized as follows: results
rated 1 to 3 are within 1 to 3 standard deviation(s) of the
assigned value, respectively; those rated 4 are >3 standard
deviations from the assigned value.
If you have concerns regarding your laboratory's performance, we
suggest that you obtain and analyze a unit of SRM 968c, Fat-Soluble
Vitamins, Carotenoids, and Cholesterol in Human Serum. If your
measured values do not agree with the certified values, we suggest
that you contact us for consultation.
Intent-to-participate forms for the 2002 QA program were mailed
about two weeks ago. This form will provide us with formal
notification of your intent to participate in the program for the
upcoming year. The program will consist of two round robin studies
for the fat-soluble vitamins and carotenoids and one study for
vitamin C in serum. To participate in the fat-soluble vitamins and
carotenoids in serum studies, the participation fee is $1600 for
U.S. laboratories and $2000 for non-U.S. laboratories. To
participate in the vitamin C in serum study, the participation fee
is $800 for U.S. laboratories and $1000 for non-U.S. laboratories.
We ask that you return the form to us by no later than November 30,
2001.

in RR36 (3/96); and serum 250 in RR44 (9/98)
Qualitative Observations Several participants noted the presence
an “insoluble stringy clot” in Serum 275 and/or 277. We had similar
reports from the earlier distributions of these sera. However,
since the solids do not appear to affect measurements, we chose to
redistribute this {liquid-frozen, lyophilized} pair to help
complete our commutability study.
All participants received their samples still frozen. We thank
all of you who promptly confirmed receipt of the samples. Such
prompt confirmation greatly simplifies our package delivery
tracking and thus helps contain M2QAP costs. We will be requesting
similar confirmation in all future studies.
Quantitative Results There has been no significant change in the
median level or in the variability of any measurand in serum 278
over eight years storage at –80 °C.
While the liquid frozen and lyophilized sera of the
commutability pairs were prepared from the same serum pool, the
measurand concentrations in the lyophilized sera are expected and
generally observed to be about 0.96x that of their liquid-frozen
analogues. This is a simple dilution effect, since the lyophilized
sera are reconstituted with 1 mL of water rather than to their
original 1 mL total volume.

“Comparability Score”
The Comparability Score (CS) summarizes your measurement
performance for a given analyte relative to the consensus medians
in this study. CS is the average distance (in units of standard
deviation) of your measurement performance characteristics from the
consensus performance. CS is calculated when the number of
quantitative values you reported, Nyou, is at least two and at
least six participants reported quantitative values for the
analyte.
We define CS as follows:
