Important: Total Error-BV and State of the Art apply statistical information from the Unity™ Interlaboratory Program consensus groups (Peer, Method, and All labs). Choose a consensus group carefully. Statistical outcome can be different based on the consensus group.
Unity Real Time™ online uses consensus group data from the Unity™ Interlaboratory Program to identify the lowest average imprecision practically achievable as the imprecision for a specific consensus group.
The following consensus groups are available:
The Peer consensus group is the ideal group for comparison. It is composed of all laboratories using the same instrument, lot number, level, reagent, analytical method, units, and temperature for a test.
Choose the Method consensus group when there is an insufficient number of laboratories in the Peer group. It is composed of all laboratories using the same lot number, level, analytical method, units, and temperature of a test.
The All labs consensus group is composed of data from all laboratories using the same lot number, level, units, and temperature of a test.
