Abstract

The National Institute of Standards and Technology coordinates the Micronutrients Measurement Quality Assurance Program (MMQAP) for laboratories that measure fat- and water-soluble vitamins and carotenoids in human serum and plasma. This report describes the design of and results for the Winter, Spring and Fall 1993 MMQAP measurement comparability improvement studies: 1) Round Robin XXVII Fat-Soluble Vitamins and Carotenoids in Human Serum, 2) Round Robin XXVIII Fat-Soluble Vitamins and Carotenoids in Human Serum, 3) Round Robin XXIX Fat-Soluble Vitamins and Carotenoids in Human Serum, and 4) Round Robin 4 Ascorbic Acid in Human Serum. The materials for Round Robin XXVII were shipped to participants in January 1993; participants were requested to provide their measurement results by March 19, 1993. The materials for Round Robin XXVIII were shipped to participants in April 1993; participants were requested to provide their measurement results by June 14, 1993. The materials for Round Robin XXIX were shipped to participants in July 1993; participants were requested to provide their measurement results by August 30, 1993. The sample materials for Round Robin 4 were distributed in August 1993 with results due by September 15, 1993.
