4-14 Performance Verification
The Calibration Report has three report parameters:
• Alignment: This portion of the test measures the alignment of the
microplate carrier with the optical path. A reading of > .015
represents an out-of-alignment condition. Wells A01, A12, H08, and
H12 are the only valid alignment holes for the reader on the 7260522
calibration test plate.
• Accuracy: Accuracy is a measure of the absorbance (optical density)
of Calibration Plate wells C01, D04, E02, F05, G03 and H06 with
known standard values contained in the Specification Sheet that
accompanies each Calibration plate. If the accuracy specifications
are met, then the reader also proves to be linear.
• Repeatability: This parameter is a measure of the instrument's
ability to read the same well with minimum variation between two
reads with the well in the same location.
TEST FAILURES
