Two secondary standards for use in routine assays of Factor VIII in therapeutic concentrates and in patients, plasmas, respectively, have been established in a multicenter collaborative study. In order to assess the effect of the adoption of these preparations as common Secondary Standards a comparative assay has been performed: one sample of a Factor VIII concentrate of intermediate purity and one plasma sample have been tested in two laboratories for Factor VIII:C activity using as reference, among others, the common working standard. Analysis of the results shows that with the plasma sample the differences of the estimates obtained with any of the references in our two laboratories were not statistically significant (P greater than 0.3), while with the concentrate sample the differences were always statistically significant (P less than 0.005). The study shows that the adoption of common working standards (besides the uniformity in assay method, reagents and basic equipment) is not sufficient to eliminate interlaboratory variation in the measurement of Factor VIII:C.
