Do medical laboratories determine accuracies for their blood tests that have numerical results (as opposed to specificities and sensitivities for tests with binary results)? If so, where can I find these accuracies? If not, why not?

I dont think they do,since the accuracy of a test depends on a lot of factors,most of which are not under human control.Also it has been a while since i had medical statistics in the university,so specificities and sensitivities are not my strong side.The company that makes the lab machines should have such numbers.
