† Edu = For educational analyte responses, values that appear under the column designated "target value" are more correctly described as the participant mean value, and are given for informational
purposes only. Designating an analyte as "educational" implies a lack of robustness in the assigned target value and/or the absence of quality specifications for performance assessment purposes.
