  • Description: The Turin Metropolitan Transplant Centre (CIC 305) includes four flow-cytometry laboratories assessing quality control on hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) with different instruments and operators. Therefore, the CD34+ enumeration assay should be validated on a regular basis. We describe here the validation plan to test the inter-laboratory reproducibility of CD34+ enumeration assay, based on the risk analysis. Stabilized blood samples were analysed using Stem-Kit reagent according to manufacturer's instructions and acquired using the Beckman Coulter Navios at Regina Margherita Children's' Hospital (305-1), Beckman Coulter FC500 at Candiolo Cancer Institute FPO-IRCCS (305-2), BD Biosciences FACSLyric™ at S. Luigi Hospital (305-3), and Beckman Coulter Navios EX at Mauriziano Hospital (305-4). The ISHAGE guidelines were followed for estimating % and absolute number of CD34+ cells in single-platform method. For each sample repeatability limit (r), reproducibility error, uncertainty of reproducibility error and coefficient of variation (CV) were reported. The repeated measurements from each laboratory or instrument have a variability, expressed as reproducibility error, lower than the repeatability limit for that single parameter. The corrected reproducibility error is always lower than the repeatability limit except for the percentage value of the "low" count. The analysis of inter-laboratory variance is within the maximum acceptable variance value, and the CV of all measurements for each parameter is less than 8%, indicating low measurement variability among laboratories. Evaluating the overall data, we can conclude that the four laboratories are perfectly aligned and the results are reproducible.
