Why can results differ even when everyone follows the same ISO standard? In this session, we’ll highlight the key biases introduced across the main steps of the method and explain why ISO 11731 offers multiple protocol options—each reflecting real trade-offs labs must manage. You’ll leave with a clear comprehension of the framework, and discuss method choices with more clarity.
