- Title
Lot-to-lot variation: no longer a neglected issue.
- Authors
Plebani, Mario; Zaninotto, Martina
- Abstract
Measurement is at the core of medical practice and laboratory testing is increasingly important for valuable clinical reasoning and patient management [[1]]. In particular, the paragraph "Mathematical evaluation of allowable between-reagent lot variation" provides an objective generally applicable procedure to verify the consistency of the results obtained with different reagent lots for a specific test. Both papers should therefore be very welcome by laboratory professionals as they draw attention to reagent lot variations to avoid drifts/shifts in analytical performances that may carry the risk of patient harm.
