Any modification to a validated assay must be evaluated in terms of the impact on the assay's performance characteristics and whether the assay remains fit for the intended purpose. The comparison is referred to as a 'method comparison', 'method comparability', 'method change', or 'comparative validation'. This review presents recommendations and examples of studies found in the current literature as a means of assessing minor modifications. In addition, the authors discuss common statistical approaches used for these comparisons.
