Selecting Non-Standard Dilutions
Introduction
A Non-Standard Dilution can be selected for an individual chemistry from a pre-
defined list. The list contains Non-Standard Dilutions that are specific for each
chemistry. The default starting dilution is indicated as selected when the Non-
Standard Dilutions screen is first displayed. (Refer to Figure 7.8.)
When a Non-Standard Dilution is selected for a chemistry:
• it is used as the starting dilution for the chemistry.
• it applies only to the chemistry for the current sample.
• it is displayed beside the chemistry on the Sample Options dialog box.
• it will remain selected if the Non-Standard Dilution dialog box is displayed again
for the same sample.
If antigen excess testing is enabled for a chemistry, it will still be performed when a
Non-Standard Dilution is selected.
Sample programming from a host computer assumes the default starting dilution for
each chemistry. A Non-Standard Dilution can be selected by editing the sample
program before the run begins. Alternatively, a Non-Standard dilution can be
programmed to be the default starting dilution. Refer to CHAPTER 5,
System Setup
,
Selecting Non-Standard Dilutions as Default for Each Chemistry. This would allow
sample programming from the host computer to begin at a dilution defined by the user.
A Non-Standard Dilution can be useful when a specific sample is known to have
unusually low or high test results.
