In the hub and spoke laboratory network, the number of hematology analyzers (HAs) within each core center has increased, and the control of HAs alignment is becoming necessary requirement to ensure analytical quality. In this scenario, HA alignment can be assessed by analyzing the same control material used for internal quality control on multiple HAs, assuming its commutability. The aim of the study was to verify the applicability of a protocol for the alignment of HAs based on control material rather than on fresh whole-blood samples.

Abstract
In the hub and spoke laboratory network, the number of hematology analyzers (HAs) within each core center has increased, and the control of HAs alignment is becoming necessary requirement to ensure analytical quality. In this scenario, HA alignment can be assessed by analyzing the same control material used for internal quality control on multiple HAs, assuming its commutability. The aim of the study was to verify the applicability of a protocol for the alignment of HAs based on control material rather than on fresh whole-blood samples.
