Precision Laboratory Standards of Mass and Laboratory Weights

EAE laboratory standards and accreditation.

Laboratory standards have been set by the European Association of Echocardiography of the European Society of Cardiology, in order to homogenize the practice of echocardiography in Europe and therefore ultimately, to protect patients. These standards have been developed for transthoracic, transesophageal and stress Echocardiography into two levels; the basic level, set to provide basic laborato...

Comparative precision of laboratory methods

Evaluation of accuracy, precision and consensus of four laboratory glucose measurement kits with reference method

Abstract         Background and Objective: According to recent changes in diagnostic criteria for diabetes, the harmonization of results obtained from various methods and systems by considering their accuracy and precision is essential. This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy, precision and consensus of some routine laboratory glucose kits in co...

Laboratory Intercomparison of Radon-in-water Standards

The standardization of instruments used for radon-in-water measurements typically involves handling and disposal of Ra in solution. To avoid contact with the Class A carcinogen, radium-free solutions were prepared and tested for use as radon-in-water standards. Filters containing known amounts of Ra were sealed in polyethylene and placed in vials filled with distilled water for >30 days to allo...

Development of standards for laboratory automation.

In clinical laboratories, the installation of total laboratory automation systems and/or modular systems has grown dramatically in the 1990s, particularly in the US, Japan, and Europe. As the number of installations and level of interest grew, several individuals and corporations active in the automation field recognized that the development of prospective standards might enable customers of su...
