Reliability of laboratory tests is quite obviously affected by technical performance within the laboratory. The effect of these technical factors is reflected by test reproducibility and accuracy. Reproducibility (precision or inherent error) is a measure of how closely the laboratory can approach the same answer when the test is performed repeatedly on the same specimen. […]
