A Novel Approach for Routinely Assessing Laboratory Sigma Metrics for a Broad Range of Automated Assays

Sigma metrics have been adapted for the clinical laboratory to incorporate observed accuracy, precision, and total error allowed. The higher the Sigma level for a process, the better performance that process has. A limitation of studies assessing Sigma metrics is that they are performed on a small number of well-controlled systems. Read the peer-reviewed journal article now.
