Table 8 Standard deviations of repeatability and within-lab precision for assaying tau protein concentrations in PBS using the tau reagent with IMR. The used samples show the mean measured total tau protein concentrations of 9.91 pg/ml and 95.46 pg/ml. The coefficient of variation is the ratio of the standard deviation to the mean of measured total tau protein concentrations.
