Repeatability refers to the results of independent 5 determination in triplicates obtained by analyzing a QC sample five times on the same day.
Reproducibility refers to the results of independent 5 determinations in triplicates obtained by analyzing a QC sample five times on different days (once a day).
Standard deviation.
Coefficient of variation, CV (%) = 100 × (SD / mean).
