Abstract: The present disclosure relates to quality control for point-of-care medical diagnostic systems. In various embodiments, the system includes an on-board storage containing a synthetic quality control material, a plurality of sub-systems having a plurality of operating parameters and including a material analyzer, a database storing quality control results that include results of the material analyzer analyzing the synthetic quality control material over time, one or more processors, and at least one memory storing instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to, automatically without user intervention: generate a control chart based on the quality control results, determine that a parameter of the plurality of operating parameters is out-of-tolerance based on the control chart, and adjust at least one of the plurality of sub-systems without user intervention to bring the out-of-tolerance parameter to within tolerance.

Abstract: A collection container for separating and collection particles suspended in a sample fluid added to the collection container includes at least one barrier-forming fluid which is immiscible relative to the sample fluid and which has a specific gravity which is different from the specific gravity of the sample fluid. The barrier-forming fluid is situated in the collection container to be in contact with the sample fluid and to form with the sample fluid a fluidic imaging barrier at the interface between the sample fluid and the barrier-forming fluid. The particles suspended in the sample fluid will separate therefrom when centrifugal or gravitational forces are applied to the container and will collect at the fluidic imaging barrier for imaging by an optical imaging system.
