DxI 9000 analyzer achieves Six Sigma performance for high-sensitivity Troponin I measurement
30 Oct 2024In July 2024, the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act (CLIA) established proficiency testing (PT) quality standards for Troponin I, a previously non-CLIA-regulated analyte. In this study by the Westgard QC group†, performance of Troponin I PT was evaluated on six instrument platforms: Abbott ARCHITECT, Beckman Coulter Unicel DxI, Roche e600 Ser/E170, Siemens Atellica IM HS, Vitros 36/56/76.Eci/Q, and the Beckman Coulter DxI 9000 Immunoassay Analyzer*.
The study found:
- The DxI 9000 analyzer achieved >90% Six Sigma performance for high-sensitivity Troponin I (hsTnI) measurement in both Troponin I lithium heparin and Troponin I serum samples
- The hsTnI assay on the DxI 9000 analyzer easily exceeds CLIA 2024’s new PT criteria
- The Beckman Coulter Unicel DxI analyzer achieved >3 Sigma for hsTnI measurement

Clinical ChemistryBiochemistry (or clinical chemistry) involves the analysis of bodily fluids using chemical tests. Techniques used include HPLC, chromatography, spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, immunochemical, electrophoresis, turbidometric / spectrophotometric assay, MRI and ISE analysis. Tests are often carried out on plasma or serum but urine (urinalysis) and fecal specimens are also processed.ImmunoassayImmunoassays are laboratory tests that utilize antibody-antigen interactions to detect specific substances. They are widely used in diagnostics for detecting diseases, drug testing, and environmental monitoring. These assays offer rapid, sensitive, and precise detection of biomarkers, making them invaluable in clinical and research labs.
