DISCREPANCIES BETWEEN ÅNGSTRÖM AND SMITHSONIAN INSTRUMENTS

Understanding Discrepancies in Vibration Amplitude Readings Between Different Instruments

Discrepancies in international normalized ratio results between instruments: a model to split the variation into subcomponents.

BACKGROUND Observed differences between results obtained from comparison of instruments used to measure international normalized ratio (INR) have been higher than expected from the imprecision of the instruments. In this study the variation of these differences was divided into subcomponents, and each of the subcomponents was estimated. METHODS Blood samples were collected at 4 different pati...

Monocyte counting: discrepancies in results obtained with different automated instruments.

To determine the accuracy of several methods for measuring the monocyte count, the results obtained by a number of different automated cell counters were analysed. Considerable discrepancies occurred for monocyte counts obtained in normal blood among the counters. The results of a visual monocyte count on a total of 800 leucocytes were used as the reference method. The technique of measuring th...
