Data from 2.5 million glucose analyses on pools of lyophilized human quality control serum were used to evaluate analyte stability in the prereconstitution phase. Input information was from laboratories in Regional Quality Control Programs that use CAP Quality Assurance Service (QAS) data processing. Of 31 pools in use between 1977 and 1981, decreasing glucose concentration was detected by, at least, one method in 26 pools, and by two or more methods in 21 pools. Method-associated average decrease in concentration varied from 0.13 mg/dL/month (glucose oxidase-electrode) to 0.19 mg/dL/month (automated glucose oxidase-colorimetric). Bidirectional instability as a function of analytic method, i.e., increase with "mild" methods, decrease with "rigorous" methods that was noticed previously with pools analyzed between 1973 and 1977, was no longer seen. Dominant directional changes in the later pools were downward by all methods, when statistically significant trends were demonstrated.
