Audience and purpose
Tis guide is intended for personnel who install, operate, and maintain the Waters 2998 Photodiode
Array (PDA) detector.
Intended use of the 2998 Photodiode Array Detector
Waters designed the 2998 PDA detector to analyze and monitor various types of compounds. The
2998 PDA detector is not intended for use with in vitro diagnostic applications.
Calibrating
To calibrate LC systems, follow acceptable calibration methods using at least five standards to
generate a standard curve. The concentration range for standards must include the entire range of
QC samples, typical specimens, and atypical specimens.
Quality control
Routinely run three QC samples that represent subnormal, normal, and above-normal levels of a
compound. If sample trays are the same or very similar, vary the location of the QC samples in the
trays. Ensure that QC sample results fall within an acceptable range, and evaluate precision from
day to day and run to run. Data collected when QC samples are out of range might not be valid. Do
not report these data until you are certain that the instrument performs satisfactorily.
