Objective: Autovalidation algorithm should be properly designed with clearly defined criteria and any data that do not meet the criteria, must be reviewed and manually validated. The aim was to define the rules for autovalidation in our laboratory information system (LIS), and validate the algorithm prior to its implementation in routine laboratory work.
Methods: Autovalidation was implemented for all routine serum biochemistry tests. The algorithm included analytical measurement ranges (AMR), delta check, critical values, serum indices and all preanalytical and analytical flags from the analyzer.
Results: In the validation process 9805 samples were included, and 78.3% (7677) of all samples were autovalidated. The highest percentage of non-validated samples (54.9%) refers to those with at least one result outside the method linearity ranges (AMR criteria) while critical values were observed to be the least frequent criterion for stopping autovalidation (1.8%). Also, 38 samples were manually validated as they failed to meet the autovalidation criteria.
Conclusion: Implementation of algorithm for autovalidation in our institution resulted in the redesign of the existing LIS. This model of the autovalidation algorithm significantly decreased the number of manually validated test results and can be used as a model for introducing autovalidation in other laboratory settings.

Objectives: Conventional autoverification rules evaluate analytes independently, potentially missing unusual patterns of results indicative of errors such as serum contamination by collection tube additives. This study assessed whether multivariate anomaly detection algorithms could enhance the detection of such errors.
Methods: Multivariate Gaussian, k-nearest neighbours (KNN) distance, and one-class support vector machine (SVM) anomaly detection models, along with conventional limit checks, were developed using a training dataset of 127,451 electrolyte, urea, and creatinine (EUC) results, with a 5 % flagging rate targeted for all approaches.

Quantification of hydrogen deuterium exchange (HDX) kinetics can provide information on the stability of individual amino acids in proteins by finding the degree to which the local backbone environment corresponds to that of a random coil. When characterized by mass spectrometry, extraction of HDX kinetics is not possible because different residue exchange rates become merged depending on the peptides that are formed during proteolytic digestion. We have recently developed an advanced programming tool called HDXmodeller, which enables the exchange rates of individual amino acids to be understood by optimization of low-resolution HDX-mass spectrometry (MS) data.

Introduction: Autovalidation (AV) is an algorithm based on predefined rules designed, among others, to automate and standardize the postanalytical phase of laboratory work. The aim of this study was to examine the overall opinion of Croatian medical biochemistry laboratories regarding various aspects of AV.
Material And Methods: This retrospective study is an analysis of the responses of a survey about AV comprised of 18 questions, as part of Module 10 ("Postanalytical phase of laboratory testing") of national External Quality Assessment program, administered by the Croatian Centre for Quality Assessment in Laboratory Medicine.

Background: SNP genotyping typically incorporates a review step to ensure that the genotype calls for a particular SNP are correct. For high-throughput genotyping, such as that provided by the GenomeLab SNPstream instrument from Beckman Coulter, Inc., the manual review used for low-volume genotyping becomes a major bottleneck.
