  1. 1
    Within a test; either (a) within a single instance of a test or (b) among instances of a single test as opposed to instances of different tests (as with intratest variability or intratest scatter). not-comparable

    "Despite its proven value as a screening tool, the BeLT, like most cell culture–radiolabel incorporation assays, is associated with some intratest, intertest, and interlaboratory variability and provides only a semiquantitative estimate of T cell activity, even when we optimize the methodology. Further methodologic refinements may enhance the test's reliability and predictive value."
