Abstract:
A method for Calibration Algorithm Transfer comprising:(i) obtaining a first set of absorbance measurements of a set of calibrators on a First Apparatus for at least one wavelength from a first wavelength calibration table; (ii) establishing a second wavelength calibration table on a second apparatus, said first and said second wavelength calibration table may be the same or different, and obtaining a second set of absorbance measurements of a similar set of calibrators on said Second Apparatus, for at least one wavelength from said second wavelength calibration table; (iii) determining a first interpolated absorbance for said first absorbance measurements for at least one wavelength of a Standard Set of Wavelengths, and determining a second interpolated absorbance for said second absorbance measurements for said at least one wavelength of said Standard Set of Wavelengths, (iv) deriving a First Linear Regression Equation for at least one wavelength of said Standard Set of Wavelengths using said first and said second interpolated absorbance measurements; and (v) incorporating said First Linear Regression Equation and at least one Primary Calibration Algorithm onto said Second Apparatus.
