Additional calibration points can be added to the curve by following Step 10 through

Step 39. Click

when the

A calibration point exists already will not be added

message is displayed.

Review the curves for each analyte by clicking the

Calibration

tab.

Click each analyte to display the corresponding calibration curve. The curve

should fit the data points. The menu provides four curve fit options:

Linear,

Linear, Forced through the Origin, Quadratic and Quadratic, Forced

through the Origin

The RSD of the curve varies depending upon the curve fit selected.

Verify that the

RSD of RF%

is acceptable. It is recommended that the

RSD of

RF%

is 30% or lower.
