Table 3.

In vitro test of the analytical detection limit of the Hemoccult II® SENSA® test using bovine feces and blood. The letters A, B and C are the repeated samples made on each mix of feces and whole blood (sub-batches). The letters “N” and “P” represents the negative and positive test results, respectively. Batches 1 and 2 were comprised of feces from two cows whereas Batches 3 and 4 were made with feces from one cow. Batches 2 and 3 were equal in both blood volumes and results, hence they were shown as one result. Likewise, the four sub-batches with 0 mL of blood added to the feces are shown as one result.
