Approach
- Methodologies to consider for discussion include cell culture, analysis methods, such as osmium staining, Marrow Quant, MRI etc.
- Identify subject-related factors in the methodologies that may explain inter-laboratory variation (age, sex, strain, etc.)
- Identify environment-related factors in the methodologies that may explain inter-laboratory variation (temperature, humidity, commonly used chemicals/compounds, etc.)
