Calculating TE and MU, why not do both two?

A recent study calculated both MAU (6 month uncertainty) and Total Error. Which model was more stringent on the methods? Which model was more forgiving? The answer may surprise you.

A multisite study of cobas pure finds nearly half of 17 assays cannot meet desirable uncertainty goals

A study of the new Cobas Pure detailed imprecision and bias. Can these instruments meet the new measurement uncertainty goals?

11 of 13 biochemistry methods on the Atellica cannot hit desirable measurement uncertainty goals

Can Atellica assays meet the new uncertainty goals? We take a look using some of Siemen's own posters and abstracts.

A majority of DxC 700 assays in an Indian Lab meet uncertainty goals

Can the biochemistry assays on a DxC 700 in India hit the new measurement uncertainty goals?

A majority of cc assays on a Vitros 5600 and Vitros 250 in India cannot meet desirable measurement uncertainty goals

Now that there are new measurement uncertainty goals, it's time to check if any instruments can hit them. Using the performance data from a recent study of the Vitros 5600 and Vitros 250 instruments from an Indian laboratory, we assess the acceptability of the mu of their methods.
