Abstract

As editors of the laboratory medicine journals we urge the medical journal editors to adopt and enforce the following requirements for clinical studies that include laboratory testing for biomarkers: 1) for commercial diagnostic tests, authors must include the actual name and generation of assay, the manufacturer and the instrument used for analyses; 2) authors must report performance characteristics, such as the imprecision of the assay in the investigators' laboratories, the assay's reportable range, and any reference interval used in the study; 3) authors must clearly indicate the types of specimens analyzed and the storage conditions for these specimens.
