Calibration Methods
After the AEROSET System has measured absorbance values for each of
the calibrators, a calibration curve is plotted. The System has eleven
different methods of analyzing the data, known as “Math Models”. The
term “Math Model” defines any mathematical procedure used to analyze
any given data. The procedure may range in complexity from a simple
subtraction to a non-linear least squares best fit. The available methods
are:
•*Abs
•*Factor
• *1-Point Linear (Blank and one calibrator)
• *Multi-Point Linear (Blank and 2 - 8 calibrators)
• Isozyme
• Logit-4
• Logit-5
• Exponent
• *Spline
•Use Factor
• *Use Fac/Blk (Factor and Blank)
NOTE: The calibration type is defined in the Assay
Configuration screens, Calibration page. For further
information, refer to Module 8, Configuration.
The methods marked with an “*” are used for the
currently available Abbott AEROSET System reagent
applications. These six methods are described in the
following paragraphs:
