The lack of peer-reviewed research for Theranos is a valid criticism. The method and technology used in other labs likely is peer-reviewed at some level, so not disagreeing on that point. What I am suggesting is that other labs do have variances in results, on certain lab tests. The OP did say that there was a 7% variation in Platelet results in successive days, using the Stanford lab. Quest Diagnostics have had previous settlements with DoJ for "inaccurate and unreliable" lab test kits.
