Increasing publications on Sigma metrics are noticing differences that derive from discrepant performance specifications. Are we in the wrong car on the wrong road heading in the wrong direction?
Every year we like to update and review analytical performance standards. Some years are harder than others. Looking at the latest update of EuBIVAS is some interesting good news - bad news.
Have we reached a point where bias in analytical methods can be solved, transformed, and/or ignored? If anything, our biases in the lab - and in the rest of the world - seem to be getting bigger...
