Laboratory testing and standardisation

Standardisation versus Innovation in Psychological Testing

Standardisation in clinical laboratory medicine: an ethical reflection.

Many efforts have been undertaken to standardise diagnostic tests. For example, the introduction of CRM-470, an international reference preparation for proteins in human serum has reduced the amonglaboratory variance of protein quantification. (The examples provided are from the field of Clinical Laboratory Immunology and Protein Chemistry.) The Dutch Red Cross Institute together with the World...

The simulated security assessment ecosystem: Does penetration testing need standardisation?

Simulated security assessments (a collective term used here for penetration testing, vulnerability assessment, and related nomenclature) may need standardisation, but not in the commonly assumed manner of practical assessment methodologies. Instead, this study highlights market failures within the providing industry at the beginning and ending of engagements, which has left clients receiving am...

Laboratory testing for endometriosis.

BACKGROUND Typically, endometriosis is diagnosed surgically by laparoscopy. CA-125 is the principal serum marker used in the diagnosis and management of late-stage endometriosis. The search for a body fluid marker of early stage disease has included studies of serum, peritoneal fluid (PF), and/or tissue levels of secretory proteins, cell adhesion molecules, cytokines, tumor necrosis and vascula...

Dsl Interoperability Testing Laboratory

− Equipment interoperability is a key factor for the development of Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) technologies and services. The paper describes the efforts of TLC Sannio Testing Laboratory [1] in acquiring knowledge and competences for the validation of DSL equipment against standard requirements.
