Uncertainty of Measurement:

Hb:

At 63 = 0.8 g/L     At 129 = 1.0 g/L

HCT:

At 0.38 = 0.06 l/l

MCV:

At 79 - 85 = 0.9 fL

MCH:

At 27 - 34 =  0.4 pg

MCHC:

At 339 - 350 = 5 g/L

RDW:

At 11.0 - 13.7 = < 0.5 %

Platelets:

At 190 - 390 x 10 9/L = 10  x 10 9/L

WBC:

At 6.5 - 10.5 x 10 9/L =  0.2 x 10 9/L

Neutrophils:

At 1.2 - 2.9 x 10 9/L = 0.1 x 10 9/L

Lymphocytes:

At 1.0 - 2.0 x 10 9/L = 0.1 x 10 9/L

Monocytes:

At 0.4 - 0.9 x 10 9/L = 0.1 x 10 9/L

Eosinophils:

At 0.3 - 0.7 x 10 9/L = 0.05 x 10 9/L

Red Blood Count:

At 2.35 - 4.44 x 10 12 /L = 0.03 x 10 12/L
