Surgical Pathology of the Mediastinum

Abstract

iance by duplicating specimens and blank control. Replication is not associated with appreciable penalties in terms of laborat- ory performance or finance but may draw attention to idiosyncratic errors. Such errors occurred on two occasions, with specimen 828 giving an overall rate of idiosyncratic errors of 0-5%. The runs in which these errors occurred were not included in the statistical analysis.
