[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2349105, member: 196898"] Each will be within their range (hopefully) but the difference between what they report will be twice One can report 15% high, the other be 15% low, so 30% difference. Remember that none of us knows what the true reading should be. Even a mass spectrometer analysis would have an error budget, The YSI blood analyser used in the lab is only 5% accurate. However I was incorrect to show the range of readings to be +/- 30% and you are correct that they will be somewhere within the range you stated, but may disagree by the 30% I stated Since this is what we 'see' and not the true value, all we can hope for is that it lies in between the two. This is why the test solutions supplied have such a wide range of acceptable values. [/QUOTE]
