Abstract Background: The recent interest of clinical laboratories in developing serum testosterone assays based on isotope dilution–liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (ID-LC-MS/MS) stems from the lack of accuracy of direct immunoassays. In this study, we assessed the accuracy and state of standardization (traceability) of 4 published ID-LC-MS/MS procedures in a method comparison with an ID–gas chromatography (GC)–MS reference measurement procedure listed in the database of the Joint Committee for Traceability in Laboratory Medicine. Methods: The study used 58 specimens from different patient categories. Each specimen was measured in triplicate (ID-LC-MS/MS) and quadruplicate (ID-GC-MS) in independent runs. Results: The testosterone concentrations by ID-GC-MS were 0.2–4.4 nmol/L (women), 0.2–2.0 nmol/L (hypogonadal man), and 10.1–31.3 nmol/L (normogonadal men). For ID-GC-MS, the CV was nearly constant, with a median of 1.0%; for ID-LC-MS/MS, it was concentration-dependent, with a median of up to 8%. Weighted Deming regression gave mean slopes, intercepts, and correlation coefficients of 0.90–1.11, −0.055–0.013 nmol/L, and 0.993–0.997, respectively. The % difference plot showed between 7% and 26% of the results outside a total error limit of 14%, with median deviations from ID-GC-MS between −9.6 and 0.4%. Conclusions: This study demonstrated fairly good accuracy and standardization of the tested ID-LC-MS/MS procedures. Performance differences between procedures were evident in some instances, due to improper calibration and between-run calibration control. This emphasizes the need for thorough validation, including traceability, of new ID-LC-MS/MS procedures.
