• Errors tab—lists errors that occur during batch acquisition, such
as controls that failed.
• Standards tab—lists all tests in the batch, a regression chart for
each test, and the standards or controls associated with the batch.
• Samples tab—lists background samples and all samples or
unknowns acquired in the batch with either a qualitative or
quantitative result.
Eight function buttons are available on the lower portion of the
Analysis window. These buttons perform tasks or functions that are
relevant to the Standards tab although they appear on all three tabs of
the Analysis window. The buttons are:
• Next Test (F2)
• Previous Test (F3)
• Invalidate Standard (F4)
• Validate Standard (F5)
• Invalidate Control (F6)
• Validate Control (F7)
• Change Lot (Alt + F8)
• Recalc (Standards tab only) - only available on the Standards tab,
and only if the Auto checkbox is not selected.
For a description of these commands, see “Commands” on page 29.
For information on procedures using these commands, see
“Validating or Invalidating Standards and Controls” on page 75 and
“Change Lot” on page 76.
In addition to the function buttons, you can choose to sort data
sequentially by order acquired, or alphabetically by Sample ID.
These options are available in the Sort group box next to the function
buttons. These sorting functions are helpful in viewing batches
containing replicate samples. Replicate samples are defined as
samples with identical sample identifications. Replicate standards,
controls, and unknown samples are not always acquired in sequential
wells and thus make sample viewing difficult. When viewing
samples alphabetically all replicate samples are displayed together
with the replicate sample’s average (AVG), then individual samples.
If you view replicate batches sequentially, each sample displays in
the order it was acquired, followed by a replicate average summary
section.
Errors Tab The Errors tab displays a list of errors that occurred during
acquisition. It organizes the errors in two categories: System and
assay errors (top section of tab), and Sample errors (bottom section
of tab) Table 5 lists the errors in each category
