Configuring the Chemistry Menu
Introduction
• The Chemistry Configuration function accommodates the installation of desired
tests from a comprehensive list of available chemistries.
• Of the total tests available, 180 chemistries can be selected and positioned onto the
menu at one time and customized to match the test order on the lab request forms.
• Modular chemistries (MC) are permanently configured on the system.
• These chemistries may be relocated on the configuration screen, but not removed.
• BUNm and UREAm both show (DxC 800 only) as available chemistries; only one
may be configured at a time. To replace one with the other, overwrite the existing
chemistry acronym with the replacement acronym.
• The Chemistry Configuration screen may be viewed at any time, but modifications
can only be made when the system status is Standby or Stopped.
Configuring a Beckman Coulter Chemistry
The chemistry menu, available in sample programming, quality control, panel
definition and other screens, is defined by the user. To define Beckman Coulter
chemistries, select <2> Chemistry Configuration/Sample Type from the Setup
screen. Place the cursor in an open field in the Configuration Chemistry screen and
press Chems [F1]. Select the DxC chemistry from the pop-up list.
Configuring a User Defined Chemistry (UDR)
The chemistry menu available in sample programming, quality control, panel
definition and other screens is defined by the user. After a User Defined Chemistry
(UDR) has been defined by selecting <15> User-Defined Chemistries from the Setup
screen, you can Configure the UDR by selecting <2> Chemistry Configuration/
Sample Type from the Setup screen. After the Chemistry Configuration/Sample Type
screen appears, selecting UDR [F2] presents a list of all User Defined Chemistries on
the system. Refer to CHAPTER 9, User Defined Reagents in this manual for additional
information on application of user-defined parameters.
Defining Chemistry Print Name
The Define Print Names function permits definition of the chemistry name that
appears on the chartable report. Each chemistry may be given a name of a maximum
of 15 characters. To define the chemistry print name, select <2> Chemistry
Configuration/Sample Type from the Setup screen. Select Define [F3] from the
Configured Chemistry screen to use the Define Print Names screen.
