Data from magnesium and iron analyses of pools of lyophilized quality control serum were used to evaluate stability of analyte mean values in the pre-reconstitution period. Information was received from laboratories in Regional Quality Control Programs between 1977 and 1981, using CAP Quality Assurance Service data processing. For magnesium, 28 of 41 (68%) pool-method combinations were stable, 11 (27%) showed decreases, and 2 (5%) showed increases. Decreases averaged 0.008 mg/dL/month (all methods). A pronounced effect of method (automated methylthymol blue) and year correlated with decreases in measurable magnesium. For iron, 45 of 56 (80%) pool-method combinations were stable, 8 (15%) showed decreases, and 3 (5%) showed increases. Decreases averaged 0.349 g/dL (all methods). In most cases, changes in measured concentrations are attributed to methodologic factors, rather than intrinsic changes in analyte concentrations.
