Disclosed are methods and systems for confirming the identification of samples processed by a high-throughput analytical technique. The method may include the steps of distributing a plurality of individual samples to individual predetermined positions of a multi-sample test unit and distributing an identifier material to at least one predetermined position of the multi-sample test unit. The method may also include determining the absence or presence of an analyte in the plurality of individual samples, and determining the absence or presence of the identifier material, wherein the presence of the identifier material at the predetermined position of the multi-sample test unit is used to confirm the identity of the plurality of individual samples positioned in the multi-sample test unit. Also disclosed are systems for performing the disclosed methods or any of the steps of the disclosed methods. The methods and systems may be applied to high-throughput LC-MS/MS or other analytical methods.

A simple configuration is used to make a determination of suitability of a cartridge including a case where the cartridge is unused. An examination system (1) includes a cartridge (2) to which identification information is assigned and an examination device (3) that acquires the identification information and performs an examination. The examination system (1) makes a determination of suitability of the cartridge based on the identification information and controls an operation of the examination device in accordance with a result of the determination.

A system and method for calibration of analytical instruments includes a software application allowing users to compute, construct, display, review, select and evaluate initial calibration models. The software application summarizes the initial calibration using the method evaluation parameters and the user selected evaluation criteria in the initial calibration evaluation table. The software application is a mathematically based program that will independently compute, construct, and display the initial calibration for each target analyte. This program then uses logic functions to review and select calibration variables against evaluation parameters. The software application is a user friendly tool performing all of the calculations independent of the on-boarded software and displays that information on a novel data visualization platform. The software application is the answer to questions centering around software limitations users encounter with on-board instrument software.

Disclosed are a sample analysis apparatus and a sample analysis method. The method includes: obtaining a leukocyte measurement mode for a test sample, the method having a plurality of leukocyte measurement modes, each of which includes at least a reaction time, and different leukocyte measurement modes having different reaction times; determining a reaction time for the current sample to be tested; controlling the sample to be tested to react with the reagent, to prepare a test sample for detecting leukocytes; and controlling to detect the test sample for detecting leukocytes, to obtain detection data of leukocyte classification.

An integrated viewer for multiple measurements according to a first aspect includes: a storage unit that stores, for each of a plurality of types of analyzers, a type of a feature amount obtained from a measurement result of the analyzer; a display control unit that displays types of feature amounts stored in the storage unit on a display screen in a selectable manner; and a registration unit that names and registers a set of types of feature amounts selected by an operator among the types of the feature amounts. The display control unit displays, side by side on the display screen, a first display region in which the type of the feature amount is displayed in a tab for each type of the analyzers and a second display region in which the set of types of the feature amounts selected by the operator is displayed.

Disclosed is a specimen analysis method for analyzing a specimen regarding a plurality of measurement items, the specimen analysis method comprising: measuring a first measurement item and a second measurement item on the basis of a measurement order; executing a process related to a time difference between a measurement of the first measurement item and a measurement of the second measurement item; and obtaining a calculation value from a measurement value of the first measurement item and a measurement value of the second measurement item.

A laboratory system for analyzing biological samples is presented. The laboratory system comprises a plurality of laboratory instruments configured to receive and identify biological samples and to query a laboratory control unit for a processing order indicative of processing steps to be carried out on the biological sample.

In one embodiment, a diagnostic system includes an instrument coupled to a client device and having at least one sample processing bay. The diagnostic system has a software architecture including instrument software (ISW) associated with the instrument. The ISW receives an assay definition file (ADF) that has a control file and an assay analysis module (AAM) file. The processing bay prepares and senses the sample according to parameters in the OPUS file and then generates sensor scan data. The diagnostic system then analyzes the sensor scan data and prepares a report according to the AAM file.
