Current status of metrological traceability and measurement uncertainty in clinical laboratories
Journal Title: Journal of Analytical Bio-Science - Year 2011, Vol 34, Issue 3
Abstract
Standardization is the most important issue in laboratory medicine. ISO has established the metrological traceability in laboratory medicine as International Standard 17511. Many countries have studied standardization programs based on ISO 17511. Traceability chains have been constituted for measuring biochemical components in clinical chemistry. It is necessary to apply such uncertainty to routine laboratory results. Uncertainty is secured the hierarchy in traceability chain. A thorough evaluation of uncertainty in routine measurement procedures is needed. It is considered that patients' results will estimate the reliability using uncertainty test results.
