Fig. 2 Results of manufacturer comparisons for total cholesterol performed from January 2000 through March 2003. Sixteen manufacturers performed 79 comparisons. Bias versus the Cholesterol Reference Method Laboratory Network (CRMLN) laboratory is plotted on the a-ax is and the coefficient of variation (CV) (%) is plotted on the y-axis. Vertical lines at -3% and +3% bias and the horizontal line at 3% CV indicate the National Cholesterol Education Program recommendations for accuracy and precision for clinical laboratories...

In some countries specialised educational programs are available on a national specified level. So, vocational education allows pharmaceutical assistants or technicians to work as trusted professionals in any pharmacy. They can have a high level of independence and of responsibility for carrying out the tasks that are given to them. The pharmacist always retains the overall responsibility.
