Objectives: Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy has been successfully applied to the measurement of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles, providing particle concentrations for total HDL particle number (HDL-P), HDL subclasses (small, medium, large) and weighted, average HDL size for many years. Key clinical studies have demonstrated that NMR-measured HDL-P was more strongly associated with measures of coronary artery disease and a better predictor of incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) events than HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C). Recently, an NMR-based clinical analyzer, the Vantera (R), was developed to allow lipoprotein measurements to be performed in the routine, clinical laboratory setting. The aim of this study was to evaluate and report the performance characteristics for HDL-P quantified on the Vantera (R) Clinical Analyzer.Design and methods: Assay performance was evaluated according to Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guidelines. In order to ensure that quantification of HDL-P on the Vantera (R) Clinical Analyzer was similar to the well-characterized HDL-P assay on the NMR profiler, a method comparison was performed.Results: The within-run and within-lab imprecision ranged from 2.0% to 3.9%. Linearity was established with-in the range of 10.0 to 65.0 mu mol/L. The reference intervals were different between men (22.0 to 46.0 mu mol/L) and women (26.7 to 52.9 mu mol/L). HDL-P concentrations between two NMR platforms, Vantera (R) Clinical Analyzer and NMR Profiler, demonstrated excellent correlation (R-2 = 0.98).Conclusions: The performance characteristics, as well as the primary tube sampling procedure for specimen analysis on the Vantera (R) Clinical Analyzer, suggest that the HDL-P assay is suitable for routine clinical applications.
