Analytical Target Profile

Meaning

The Analytical Target Profile represents a predefined set of performance criteria that an analytical measurement procedure must achieve to ensure the resulting data is fit for its intended clinical purpose. This profile acts as a critical quality benchmark for laboratory testing, particularly for hormone or peptide quantification in patient samples. Establishing this profile confirms that the analytical method is sufficiently accurate, precise, and sensitive to reliably guide clinical decision-making and therapeutic monitoring. It is a fundamental element in maintaining the integrity of diagnostic results in the endocrinology practice.
