  11. 15. The division of a sample into at least two smaller size vials
  12. 18. A diagnostic test to measure the concentration or level of a particular analyte
  13. 20. The protein in the centre of a red blood cell (erythrocyte), that is responsible for binding and delivering oxygen to the body
  14. 21. Calculated by dividing the sum of all results by the number of results
  15. 22. Agreement between your test result value and the true value; i.e. how correct your result is
  16. 23. A process used to separate or concentrate materials suspended in a liquid medium
