-Second Notice-

EP14-A2Evaluation of Matrix Effects; Approved Guideline—Second Edition
This document provides guidance for evaluating the bias in analyte measurements that is due to the sample matrix (physiological or artificial) when two measurement procedures are compared.


Our procedures have been designed to ensure that consensus has been achieved when a standard or guideline is published at the approved level. This means that a document has been rigorously reviewed by the authoring subcommittee, the area committee overseeing the project, the Board of Directors, and the medical-testing community which participates in the consensus process by carefully reviewing and commenting on the standard or guideline. The listed approved consensus documents are available for purchase.

You may automatically receive or select approved-level documents as a member benefit. Find out more about joining CLSI. View membership options and benefits.
