applied to quantitative assay test orders before processing has begun on the test
order. Test orders with dilution factors are flagged with the corresponding dilution
factor identifier. The results for the test orders with dilution factors will be displayed in
the original concentration value, with the assay result multiplied by the specified
dilution factor.
Warning—Ensure that dilution factors are applied properly, according to
the dilutions made for the specimens. It is the responsibility of the user to
properly dilute specimens and to apply the dilution factor accordingly.
Apply Dilution Factors
To add 1:3 or 1:100 dilution factors to quantitative assay test orders so that the
final results are listed at original concentrations:
1. If applying dilutions to an entire rack of quantitative specimens, from the
Sample Rack Loading screen select Apply Dilution All.
If applying dilutions to a single test order, select the test order from the
Sample Details screen and select Apply Dilution.
The Dilution Factor window opens.
2. From the Dilution Factor window, select a previously created dilution factor.
3. Select OK.
The corresponding dilution factor flag will be applied to all selected test
orders.
