ACCURACY OF STANDARDS IN CHOLESTROL DIAGNOSTIC KITS
The percentage error observed in the claimed standard concentration of cholesterol 200 mg/dl for kits A to D is found to be 0.6, 12.3, 8.96 and 3.76 respectively. As per the guidelines of CLIA 8 allowable error is +10% for cholesterol estimation. Similarly as per the NCEP 9 guidelines + 9 % error is allowable. Therefore, it is noted that kit A is the best kit with an error of just 0.6% followed by...
