ZQ™ Detector to with an HPLC system to
determine mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) for a wide range of analytes.
Biological Hazard
When you analyze physiological fluids, take all necessary precautions and treat all
specimens as potentially infectious. Precautions are outlined in “CDC Guidelines on
Specimen Handling,” CDC – NIH Manual, 1984.
Calibration
Follow the calibration methods set forth in this guide, using pure standards. The
concentration range should cover the entire range of quality-control samples, typical and
atypical specimens.
Quality Control
Routinely run three quality-control samples. Quality-control samples should represent
subnormal, normal, and above-normal levels of a compound. Ensure that quality-control
sample results are within an acceptable range, and evaluate precision from day to day and
run to run. Data collected when quality-control samples are out of range may not be valid.
