References
To be able to run specific samples, and to see stability or variation of parameters, it is
necessary to define a reference material for the software. This is going to be the
basis for Quality Control. The idea is to enter these so-called expected or target
values, and save everyday repeated runs of the same material in a separate
database so that these values can be compared to the reference data.
Reference values arrive with the control material. The manufacturer recommends
using Erba Hematology Control with the analyzer.
The assay value sheet contains all necessary parameters for the control material.
