Indicators
Molecular detection of Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae nucleic acid.
Glossary Term
The probability that a test will produce a true negative result when used on non-effected subjects as compared to a reference or "gold standard". The specificity of a test can be determined by calculating: number of true negative results divided by the sum of true negative results plus number of false positive results.
Glossary Term
A PCR format that partitions each sample into thousands of sub-reactions and calls each partition positive or negative, giving absolute quantification without a standard curve. Useful for low-level targets, copy-number work, and reference material characterization; throughput and per-test cost differ from qPCR.
Tests
An index of the variation in the size of the red cells and can be used to detect subtle degress of anisocytosis. It is computed directly from the RBC histogram and is calculated as a standard statictical value, the coefficient of variation of the red cell volume ditribution (ratio of standard deviation and mean copuscular volume).

Glossary Term
The international quality-management standard for medical device manufacturing. Certification does not certify individual products, but suppliers with ISO 13485-registered production generally support tender documentation more reliably.

Tests
Molecular detection of M. tuberculosis complex, with or without rifampicin resistance markers.
Tests
A modification of the Bethesda Assay where the pH and the protein concentration of the test mixture is further standardized, such that the factor VIII coagulant activity (FVIII:C) in the test mixture is less prone to artifactual deterioration and the test has improved specificity.
Glossary Term
A family of probability density functions whose mean, median and mode are identical. The function generates a symmetrical curve, whose position and shape is determined by its location and scale parameters, the mean and standard deviation respectively. The standard normal distribution has a location parameter of 0 and a scale parameter of 1.
