ISE Reference Solution - operator
ISE Reference Solution A KCl solution pulled
through the ISE Reference Electrode to set the electronic
baseline to zero for ISE measurement. Also known as the
REF or reference electrode solution.
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 analyzer-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 log on. 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.
offset Y-intercept of calibration in the
concentration/signal graph.
on-board 1. A technical device or function that is part
of the analytical instrument and can be used by the
analyzer 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.
