====How to calibrate on Erba XL-640==== - Analyze one sample after making new reagent,before calibration in order to check reagent blank and any gross mistake. - [[nchsls:c:biochemistry:document:calibration_and_quality_control_frequency|Current calibration frequency policy]] - [[prepare Randox cal 2 and cal 3]] - [[Make new profile]] of parameter you want to calibrate in erba XL-640.. - Changes to make in new profile as shown in screenshot by click on 'edit' button. - Decimal place = 4 - Sample replicate = 4 - K-Factor=1 - Reagents = New bottle.{{profile 1.JPG|step2}}{{profile 2.JPG|step 3}} - For example,if you want to calibrate new reagent for Glucose, In reagents select NGLC R1. - Calculate volume of sample and reagent. - [[Reagent bottle preparation and programming of it in Erba XL-640]]. ^Prepare for calibration as below when lot changes or there is relevent NC. Refer [[Calibrator and QC]]^ ^testing material^number of cups^ |Water blank, ((5 gm/dl Bovine Serum albumin as blank in Creatinine))|3| |Normal Range Calibrator|3| |Abnormal range Calibrator|3| |Normal range QC sera|3| |Abnormal Range QC sera|3| ^Put all samples in Erba XL-640^ ==After calibration completed in Erba XL-640== - After Doing calibration as per above scheme , Export data from from Erba XL-640.Note file No. of exported file. - After calibration completed , Open 10.207.3.245 and open exported file according to that file number. - Sort data in Excel sheet as shown in example.{{2014-07-23_calibration_ALB_027_ERBAXL.ods|Example of data sort in excel sheet}} - [[Enter calibration in database]]. - Consider 4 digit when writing factor.For example,in Albumin factor=6.121, TP factor=15.21 and Glucose factor=250.2. **Note**:All samples should be done at least 10 times.
