Digoxin, a cardiac glycoside, is widely used in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Due to its narrow therapeutic range, precise monitoring of its blood concentration is essential. A reference measurement procedure (RMP) is pivotal for ensuring result accuracy and comparability. The RMP for serum digoxin by ID-LC-MS/MS was optimized with sample pre-treatment and detection processes, and the bracketing calibration method was used, which facilitates more accurate measurement, especially for extreme concentrations. The performance of this optimized RMP was thoroughly evaluated. The limit of detection (LoD) was 0.05 ng/mL (0.06 nmol/L) and the lowest limit of quantification (LLoQ) was 0.10 ng/mL (0.13 nmol/L). The intra- and inter-assay imprecisions were 2.24%, 2.51%, 1.40% and 1.72%, 1.65%, 0.97% at 0.5, 2.0, 5.0 ng/mL, respectively. Recoveries were 99.63 to 101.42% and the linear response ranged from 0.1 to 10.0 ng/mL. The relative bias was 0.41% and 2.00% of our results compared with the median of all participating reference laboratories for IFCC-RELA (External Quality Assessment Scheme for Reference Laboratories in Laboratory Medicine) 2023A and 2023B. The uncertainty, calibration and measurement capability (CMC) of this method were also evaluated. The optimized RMP was applied in the Trueness Verification Plan of Southern China, which indicates significant differences among clinical systems, highlighting the need for standardization efforts. In addition, two commonly used clinical systems which employed immunoassay methods were compared with this optimized RMP, and 26 individual serum samples were analyzed. The good correlations indicate the feasibility of standardization for serum digoxin. The optimized RMP serves as an accurate reference baseline for routine methods, aiming to enhance the accuracy and precision of measurements in clinical laboratories. Graphical Abstract
