NORMALIZING THE RESPONSE OF A FLUORESCENCE INSTRUMENT USING SPECTRAL RESPONSE

摘要

A method to normalize at least one of a population of subordinate clinical diagnostic analyzer to a master clinical diagnostic analyzer such that an assay result from a subordinate clinical diagnostic analyzer can be converted to the equivalent result of the master clinical diagnostic analyzer by using a simple multiplicative factor when the assay executed on each analyzer uses a common fluorescently labeled dye. Also a method to re-normalize a subordinate clinical diagnostic analyzer assay result to a master clinical diagnostic analyzer assay result by using a simple multiplicative factor when the assay executed on the subordinate clinical diagnostic analyzer uses a different fluorescently labeled dye than the assay executed on the master clinical diagnostic analyzer.
