Validating sample results
The Cedex Bio instrument provides several aids for validating results:
o
In the results list, results that fall outside predefined technical ranges are flagged.
o
You can display detailed result information that allows you to make a considered
decision.
o
Non flagged results can be accepted automatically.
o
You can print the results.
o
You can export the results and process them on an external computer.
The following ways of dealing with results are available:
o
Accept the result.
o
Re-perform the identical test ( Repeat ).
o
Re-perform the test using a predefined different dilution ( Rerun ).
Results must be accepted before they can be transmitted to a host or before they can
be automatically printed.
The effect of flagged results depends on the configuration ( Utilities > Configuration
> Result Handling ). The following table shows how.
