Publication number: 20040058372Abstract: The invention relates to a method of quality assurance/quality control for high-throughput bioassay processes. The method permits monitoring of an entire system for obtaining spectral data from biological samples. Generally, the method includes generating a bioassay process model, comparing a test sample against the bioassay process model. The bioassay process model may be based on the position of a centroid in n-dimensional space. The comparing may include comparing the location of a centroid associated with the test model against the centroid associated with the control model to determine the distance between the two centroids. By generating a trend plot of the distance between the centroid associated with the test sample and the centroid associated with the control model, overall system performance may be monitored over time.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 28, 2003Publication date: March 25, 2004Inventors: Ben A.

Publication number: 20040053333Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of quality assurance/quality control for high-throughput bioassay processes. The method includes generating a bioassay process model, and then comparing spectral data based on a combination of a biochip and a test serum to the bioassay process model to determine if the test sample and the bioassay process are producing acceptable data. Alternatively, the method may include comparing spectral data based on a combination of serum and diluents used in an electrospray process to the bioassay process model. If the bioassay process and test sample fall within the model, then the spectrum produced may be further analyzed.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 28, 2003Publication date: March 18, 2004Inventors: Ben A.
