Putting controls together with normal samples, and run the controls on the “Count” screen
After setting special “QC Sample ID” for a control under the QC setup screen, you can put the
control together with normal samples, and run it on the “Count” screen.
Check the following before analysis:
• Make sure you have set up a suitable and correct QC file for the control to be run, and the QC
file is “In Use”.
• Make sure you have prepared the controls in accordance with your laboratory protocols, and
the requirements in the Instruction for Use of the controls.
• The analyzer is ready to run samples (i.e. the analyzer indicator stays in green).
• Make sure the analysis system is without error.
Note when you set sample ID for the control:
• If you are using external barcode scanner to scan sample IDs, make sure the QC sample IDs set
on the QC file screen are the same as that of the Lot No. labels on the control vials.
• If you are manually entering sample IDs, make sure the QC sample IDs set on the QC file
screen are the same as the sample IDs you entered on the “Mode” screen.
Follow below instructions:
1. In the “Count” screen, tap “Next Sample”.
2. In the “Next Sample” screen, manually enter or use a barcode scanner to scan the barcode label
on the tube to enter the sample ID and sample information into the “Sample Info.” field.
NOTE:
Make sure the Sample ID you entered is the same with the QC sample ID you set in the QC
file for the control.
3. Select the desired test panel.
NOTE:
Make sure the set test panel is the same with that you set in the QC file for the control.
4. Run the samples in accordance with the normal sample analysis procedure.
After the analysis, the QC results will be automatically saved to the corresponding QC file.
