Figure 10From: Variance in multiplex suspension array assays: intraplex method improves reliabilityExternal ratios on uncoated mean. (Instrument A/Instrument B) This figure shows ratios on an external mean, where an external mean is the mean of an assay for a different analyte. This graph demonstrates that, on average, an apparently quite stable external mean is not as good as an internal mean ratio. Comparing Figures 9 and 10, one can see that Figure 9 has ratios that are closer to the desired ratio of 1. (Corresponds to Table 2 B.)Back to article page
