Abstract
In examples, a method of controlling customer access to an assay system comprises (a) receiving a system identifier; (b) identifying said system identifier, and (c) utilizing information obtained from the system identifier to perform one or more operations selected from: (i) enabling full access to said system and/or a consumable used in said system; (ii) enabling partial access to said system and/or a consumable used in said system; or (iii) denying access to said system and/or a consumable used in said system.
Claims20
A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing executable instructions which, when executed by a controller of an assay system, cause the controller to:
- receive a consumable identifier from a consumable;
- attempt to validate consumable data on the assay system using the consumable identifier;
- and
- control access to the assay system based on results of the attempted validation.
A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing executable instructions which, when executed by a controller of an assay system, cause the controller to:
- receive a consumable identifier from a consumable;
- attempt to validate consumable data on the assay system using the consumable identifier;
- responsive to the attempt to validate being successful, process the consumable and output results of the processing to a display;
- and
- responsive to the attempt to validate being unsuccessful, process the consumable and withhold the results of the processing from the display.
A method of controlling access to an assay system, the method comprising:
- receiving a consumable identifier from a consumable;
- attempting to validate consumable data on the assay system using the consumable identifier;
- and
- controlling access to the assay system based on results of the attempted validation.
