    7. Product Performance Consistency The consistency of extracted lysates on the same machine and different machines (within-run precision) is the variability of the results from well to well. The coefficient of variation of nucleic acid extraction concentration is less than 5%. It is in the range of acceptable statistical analysis.
  • Page 25 Reproducibility The reproducibility of extracted lysates on the same machine (run-to-run precision) is the variability of the results from repeated measurements. The coefficient of variation of nucleic acid extraction concentration is less than 5%. It is in the range of acceptable statistical analysis.
