Abstract:

In lab science, whether in a toxicology lab or in a clinical lab, a common task is to compare two lab methods for the same quantity. This can happen because of a modification to a lab procedure. I am hoping to compare how different disciplines have handled this issue. When I worked at the University of Maryland, the approaches taken were quite different than the ones I now see at FDA. I think a dialog about what works when and why would be useful.
