Interpretations
What is the Scientific Data from Instrument and Reagent Supplier?
Technology Method:
Fluorescence quantitative immunoassay
Limit of Detection:
Precision:
The within-assay CV is less than or equal to 10%. The between-assay CV is less than or equal to 15%.
Measuring Range:
Validation-Active Information:
- EQA: Yes
- Inter-laboratory validations
- Periodic according to the validation schedule
- Event-triggered- QC/Calibration/New materials/Batch
Precision:
The precision relies on the within-assay coefficient of variations and the between-assay coefficient. The within-assay coefficient of variations is the variance of the result value if the same test was analysed again. The between assay coefficient is the variance of the result value if the same sample was reprocessed from the beginning again.
