Selecting Non-Standard Dilutions as Default for Each Chemistry
Introduction
The instrument status must be in
Standby
in order to select a non-standard dilution for
a chemistry. The system allows the user to select a non-standard dilution to use as the
initial dilution every time a particular assay is run.
Selecting a Non-Standard Dilution
When a non-standard dilution has been selected for a chemistry and sample type,
whenever this chemistry is run in this sample type, the system uses the selected non-
standard default dilution as the initial dilution. If the test is out of range at this dilution,
the system will step up or step down to a different dilution.
If the original sample was programmed to run with a standard dilution, and later you
changed the default dilution to a non-standard dilution, the sample will be rerun with
the standard dilution.
The default dilution used for samples programmed as controls is unaffected.
Step
Action
1
From the Setup screen, select
<7> Units/Non-Standard Dilutions
. (Refer
2
Select the sample type. Then select the
options button < >
beside the
desired chemistry. Standard and non-standard dilutions are displayed.
(Refer to Figure 5.16.)
3
Select the number beside the desired dilution for the selected chemistry
and sample type. Note that the current default dilution is highlighted. If the
chosen dilution is a non-standard dilution, that dilution will appear on the
Units/Non-Standard Dilutions screen.
OR
Select
<Cancel>
to return to the Units/Non-Standard Dilutions screen
without changing the non-standard dilution.
OR
Select
<Default>
to return to the standard default dilution.
