PD CEN/TS 16945:2016 CEN/TS 16945:2016 (E) 4 Introduction Molecular in vitro diagnostics has enabled a significant progress in medicine. Further progress is ex
19、pected by new technologies analysing signatures of nucleic acids, proteins, and metabolites in human tissues and body fluids. However, the profiles of these molecules can change drastically during primary sample collection, transport, storage, and processing thus introducing biases and making the ou
20、tcome from diagnostics or research unreliable or even impossible because the subsequent analytical assay will not determine the situation in the patient but an artificial profile generated during the pre-examination process. Therefore, a standardization of the entire process from sample collection t
21、o metabolomics analysis is needed. Studies have been undertaken to determine the important influencing factors. This Technical Specification draws upon such work to codify and standardize the steps for urine, serum and plasma metabolomics analysis in what is referred to as the preanalytical phase. M
22、etabolomics, the global profiling of metabolites (namely molecules with a molecular weight MW 2 000 Da 3) in biological samples, is the determination of the dynamic multi-parametric metabolic response of living systems to pathophysiological stimuli and/or genetic modification. Metabolomics studies,
23、which can be semiquantitative or quantitative, help in identifying metabolic profiles that are characteristic for given pathological conditions, for disease prognosis, for the evaluation of the individual response to medical intervention and pharmaceutical treatments. Metabolites are physically and
24、chemically different, and include e.g. sugars, acids, bases, and lipids 3. This diversity of metabolites and the dynamic range of their concentration in biological samples complicate the separation and detection methods and make it impossible to identify all the metabolites in a single experiment. H
25、owever, new high-throughput technologies based on NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) spectroscopy and MS (mass spectrometry) hold great potential due to their ability to look at large parts of the whole metabolome, although with different sensitivity. These two main analytical platforms are now well s
26、tandardized. Equally well established are the statistical approaches needed to extract information from the huge amount of data resulting from metabolomic analysis. The metabolic profiles are very sensitive to preanalytical variations that can result from enzymatic activity in the samples and chemic
27、al reactions (e.g. oxidation, 4, 5). This Technical Specification series provides guidelines arising from systematic studies conducted on the most commonly employed biofluids: urine and blood derivatives, serum and plasma. PD CEN/TS 16945:2016 CEN/TS 16945:2016 (E) 5 1 Scope This Technical Specifica
28、tion covers the preanalytical phase and recommends the handling, documentation and processing of urine, venous blood plasma and serum intended for metabolomics analysis. This Technical Specification is applicable to metabolomics examinations and is of importance to biomedical laboratories, customers
29、 of laboratories, in vitro diagnostics developers and manufacturers, institutions and companies performing biomedical research, biobanks, and regulatory authorities. The adoption of the described procedures for the preanalytical phase make it possible to compare and evaluate the results obtained fro
30、m metabolic profiling analysis. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

44、oidance of cross contaminations) see EN ISO 15189:2012, 5.2.6, 5.4.4. Consumables including kits shall be verified before use in examination (see EN ISO 15189:2012, 5.3.2.3); EN ISO 15189:2012, 5.5.1.2 and 5.5.1.3 can also apply. As all steps of a diagnostic workflow can influence the final analytic
45、al performance, the entire workflow comprising the preanalytical steps, including information on specimen stability and storage conditions, and analytical steps should be verified and validated (see EN ISO 15189). In the absence of suitable specimen stabilization technologies, regarding the metabolo
46、me, the specimen collection should be carried out in hospital premises or institutions where there are immediate suitable biofluid processing procedures available.
