Blind testing

From WikiMD's Food, Medicine & Wellness Encyclopedia

Blind testing — Use of a specimen whose contents are unknown to the laboratory, or to the laboratory technician, to assess the ability of the laboratory to perform a test correctly. Usually the technician is aware that the specimen is being used for quality assessment but does not know (i.e., is blind to) its contents. In the most rigorous blinding, the specimen arrives at the laboratoryas a routine specimen.
