Audience and purpose

This guide is intended for individuals who install, operate, or maintain the sample manager - flow
through needle (SM-FTN). It gives an overview of the technology and operation of the SM-FTN.

Intended use of the SM-FTN

Waters designed the SM-FTN for use in liquid chromatography applications. The SM-FTN is not
intended for use in diagnostic applications.
Calibrating
To calibrate LC systems, adopt acceptable calibration methods using at least five standards to
generate a standard curve. The concentration range for standards must include the entire range
of QC samples, typical specimens, and atypical specimens.

Quality control

Routinely run three QC samples that represent subnormal, normal, and above-normal levels of a
compound. If sample trays are the same or very similar, vary the location of the QC samples in
the trays. Ensure that QC sample results fall within an acceptable range, and evaluate precision
from day to day and run to run. Data collected when QC samples are out of range might not be
valid. Do not report these data until you are certain that the instrument performs satisfactorily.
