Material is provided in analyser specific collection devices. Material at a range of Hb concentrations is prepared to cover the pathological and analytical range for FIT including samples at or near the clinical cut-off of 10 ug Hb /g used for symptomatic testing pathways and the higher cut offs used in asymptomatic population screening programmes. The three samples per distribution is designed to assess laboratory and method performance, including linearity, bias, and within batch imprecision. | ||||||
