IU/ml of the mean was shown. Commutability showed marked improvement following fragmentation of both CMV standards but not after fragmentation of the EBV standards. These findings confirm the impact of amplicon size and target fragmentation on commutability for CMV and suggest that for some (but not all) viruses, interlaboratory harmonization can be improved through the use of fragmented quantitative standards.
