Testing samples ü Tests used in the serological screening are qualitative tests • determines whether the substance being tested for is present or absent ü Results obtained by the PL will be compared with a reference panel sent by de Organizer Center. So the reference panel must be very well tested, to assure the certainty of the results

Conclusion 1. 2. 3. The best source for reference panels are plasma units from Blood banks (transformed in sera units) Positive samples (anti-T. cruzi) could be diluted until 1: 2 (no more) Positive samples (anti-T. cruzi) must be tested by, at least: ü ü ü 4. 6 differente ELISA tests (Lys and rec) 1 IHA test 1 suplemmental test (TESA blot, Immunoblot or RIPA) Samples (anti-T. cruzi +) of reference panels must be positive by ELISA and IHA tests
