level detection - order ID
level detection A check for the availability of
sufficient liquid in a container.
linear barcode A conventional one-dimensional
barcode with limited data capacity.
liquid level detection (LLD) The ability of an
analytical instrument to sense liquid by using the probe.
log file A set of data, typically stored in the control unit,
that traces instrument-related or operator-related
activities such as maintenance.
log off The procedure of terminating access to a system.
Also known as log out or logoff. The reverse procedure is
known as log on or log in.
Log off button A button used to terminate access to a
system. See also log off.
log on The procedure of gaining access to a system by
entering a user name and, if required, a password. Also
known as log in or logon. The reverse procedure is
known as log off or log out.
Log on button A button used to gain access to a
system. See also log on.
lot calibration A mandatory calibration when a new
lot of reagents is introduced to an analytical instrument.
main calibration Two-point calibration of the ISE
tests with ISE Solution 1 and 2. (As opposed to the
calibration with ISE Calibrator Indirect, which is part of
each ISE measurement.)
maintenance action A maintenance procedure
performed by the system or the operator; and that must
be performed on a regular basis (for example daily,
weekly, or monthly) to secure reliable operation of the
analyzer.
maintenance procedure See maintenance action.
manual dilution An off-system, pre-analytical step
performed by laboratory staff to reduce the analyte
concentration in a sample.
mean The sum of values divided by the number of
values.
measure point Time at which absorbance reading is
taken and used to calculate results.
measuring range See reportable range.
message In computing, a defined set of alphanumeric
data that transfers information from computer to
computer or from an analytical instrument to the
operator.
Microcup A secondary sample cup made by Hitachi
with a small dead (residual) volume.
minimum sample volume The amount of residual
sample material plus the volume required for assaying all
requested tests to ensure faultless sample aspiration.
monochromatic Absorbance measurement at one
(primary) wavelength.
multi-wavelength spectrophotometer A
spectrophotometer in which detectors are placed at
multi-wavelength positions to enable simultaneous light
reception.
on-board 1. A technical device or function that is part
of the analytical instrument and can be used by the
instrument at any time.
2. The availability of reagents and consumables on an
analytical instrument for use at any time.
online help On-screen documentation that a user can
request in a context-sensitive manner.
operating system A software program that controls
all basic functions of a computer (for example, Windows,
Linux, and Palm OS).
operator The person who uses and controls the
analytical instrument or a computer system.
See also user.
operator ID An alphanumeric ID that a system uses to
identify a particular operator.
order Collection of all tests that are defined to be
performed for a particular sample.
order ID A set of alphanumeric data that unmistakably
identifies a particular sample order in the lab and is often
manually written on the sample label.
