    Abstract: The present invention concerns the field of diagnostics. Specifically, it relates to a method for assessing a subject with suspected infection comprising the steps of determining the amount of a first biomarker in a sample of the subject, said first biomarker being IGFBP7, determining the amount of a second biomarker in a sample of the subject, wherein said second biomarker is selected from the group consisting of: PCT, IL6, a cardiac Troponin, Albumin, CRP, Bilirubin, Ferritin, ESM-1, Aspartate aminotransferase, a BNP-type peptide, Alanine aminotransferase, Creatinine, and suPAR, comparing the amounts of the biomarkers to references for said biomarkers and/or calculating a score for assessing the subject with suspected infection based on the amounts of the biomarkers, and assessing said subject based on the comparison and/or the calculation. The invention also relates to the use of a first biomarker being IGFBP7 and a second biomarker selected from the group consisting of: PCT, IL6, a cardiac Troponin, Albumin, CRP, Bilirubin, Ferritin, ESM-1, Aspartate aminotransferase, a BNP-type peptide, Alanine aminotransferase, Creatinine, and suPAR, or a detection agent specifically binding to said first biomarker and a detection agent specifically binding to said second biomarker for assessing a subject with suspected infection. Moreover, the invention further relates to a computer-implemented method for assessing a subject with suspected infection and a device and a kit for assessing a subject with suspected infection.

    Abstract: A laboratory system is disclosed. The laboratory system comprises a plurality of laboratories comprising one or more analytical instruments for performing a plurality of analytical tests (T1-n) and providing analytical test results (TR1-n) and a remote computer communicatively connected to the laboratories. Each of the laboratories is configured to define test result validation criteria (C1-n) for validating at least one of the analytical test results (TR1-n) associated with the respective analytical tests (T1-n) of one of the plurality of laboratories. The remote computer is configured to define a plurality of profiles (P1-n) of validation criteria, to assign the profiles (P1-n) of test result validation criteria (C1-n) to one or more of the laboratories (102), and to perform an automatic validation of groups (G1-n) of the analytical test results (TR1-n) according to the profiles (P1-n) of test result validation criteria (C1-n).

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of determining an analyte in a sample, said method comprising (a) contacting said sample with (i) a binding compound binding to said analyte, said binding compound comprising a binding agent and a first partner of an affinity pair (first affinity partner); and (ii) a second partner of the affinity pair (second affinity partner) coupled to a solid surface, to an indicator, and/or to a second binding agent; and (b) determining said analyte based on complexes formed in step (a); wherein one of said first affinity partner and said second affinity partner is a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1 or a sequence at least 50% identical thereto, and wherein the other of said first affinity partner and said second affinity partner is a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2 or a sequence at least 50% identical thereto. The present invention also relates to a polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence as specified in SEQ ID NO:1 or a sequence at least 50% identical thereto, wherein the amino acid at the position corresponding to position 77 in SEQ ID NO:1 is not a histidine; and to a polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence as specified in SEQ ID NO:2 or a sequence at least 50% identical thereto, wherein (i) the amino acid at the position corresponding to position 17 in SEQ ID NO:2 is not a cysteine, in an embodiment is alanine, serine, leucine, isoleucine, or glycine and/or (ii) said polypeptide further comprises at least one functional peptide; and to fusion polypeptides, polypeptide complexes, polynucleotides and kit related to the aforesaid.
