Precision

A study was performed based on guidance from CLSI EP05-A2.

Testing was conducted using 1 lot of the ALINITY i B∙R∙A∙H∙M∙S PCT Reagent Kit, 1 lot of the ALINITY i B∙R∙A∙H∙M∙S PCT Calibrators, and 1 lot of the ALINITY i B∙R∙A∙H∙M∙S PCT Controls and 1 instrument. Three controls and 4 human plasma panels were assayed in a minimum of 2 replicates at 2 separate times per day on 20 different days.
