Calculating the precision from one measurement to the next
The result of the formula specifies the precision from one measurement to the next in % CV (coefficient of
variation).
8.6.3 Test instructions, lower fluorescence
The following tests can be conducted on the device to check the device specifications for this measuring
procedure:
• Sensitivity
• Precision within a plate
• Precision from one measurement to the next
Sensitivity
Conduct the measurement with the following settings to determine the detection limit for fluorescein.
