and the intended use of the method (i.e., collaborative studies, proficiency testing, etc…)

The OMB liaison served as facilitator by working with both members of the AOAC Committee on
23
Statistics and the method author to ensure a sound study design for the multi-laboratory testing and to
24
ensure the appropriate statistical tools were available to analyze the data. Since this method will be
