  • Publication number: 20240094231
    Abstract: Systems and methods for calibrating laboratory instruments. In an example, a laboratory instrument for testing patient specimens includes a testing apparatus configured to receive a cassette that includes a patient specimen or a quality control specimen. In response to determining that a quality control specimen is present, the instrument obtains a first measurement of a parameter. If the first parameter is outside an expected tolerance, the instrument ceases performing tests on all specimens, the instrument re-tests the quality control specimen to obtain a second measurement of the parameter. If the second measurement is within the expected tolerance, instrument resumes processing of the cassette. If the second measurement is outside the expected tolerance, the instrument indicates that recalibration or service is required.
