Abstract INTRODUCTION Although several plasma tau phosphorylated at threonine 217 (p‐tau217) immunoassays are now available, comprehensive analytical validation remains limited. We therefore evaluated the Lumipulse G plasma p‐tau217 assay and verified established cutoffs for clinical implementation. METHODS This study was conducted in two phases: (1) analytical validation of the Lumipulse G plasma p‐tau217 assay, assessing precision, lower limit of quantification (LLoQ), selectivity, stability, and interference; and (2) verification of previously established cutoffs using a two‐threshold approach in 37 samples with confirmed cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) Aβ42/Aβ40 status. RESULTS The assay demonstrated strong analytical performance, with repeatability and intermediate precision (%CV 2% introduced variability. Cutoff verification showed 97% reproducibility with excellent agreement ( ρ = 0.99, p < 0.0001). DISCUSSION The Lumipulse assay showed robust analytical performance and reproducibility, supporting clinical use, though certified reference materials are still needed for standardization.
