Abstract
Computerized analysis methods and systems to implement the computerized analysis methods are disclosed herein. Specifically, the present disclosure relates to systems and methods for determining an unknown characteristic of a sample.
Claims7
A method for determining an unknown characteristic of a sample, the method
- comprising:
- using a laboratory device under a set of test conditions to generate calibration data based on a testing process which is performed upon a plurality of calibration samples comprising physical sample materials, the calibration data comprising one or more results obtained from measurements of selected characteristics of the physical sample material;
- using the same laboratory device under the same test conditions to generate test data based on the testing process which is performed upon a test sample comprising a physical test material;
- receiving the calibration data and the test data at a computer processing device;
- analyzing the calibration data and the test data the computer processing device to determine an unknown characteristic of said test sample based on the calibration data.

A system for determining an unknown characteristic of a sample, the system
- comprising:
- a laboratory device which
- performs first measurements under a set of test conditions to generate calibration data based on a testing process performed upon a plurality of calibration samples comprising physical sample materials, the calibration data comprising one or more results obtained from measurements of selected characteristics of the physical sample material;
- and
- performs second measurements under the same test conditions to generate test data based on the testing process which is performed upon a test sample comprising a physical test material;
- and
- a computer processing device which
- receives the calibration data and the test data from the laboratory device;
- analyzes the calibration data and the test data to determine an unknown characteristic of said test sample based on the calibration data
- wherein each of the calibration samples is comprised of DNA material from a single person, the test sample is comprised of DNA material from one or more persons, and the unknown characteristic is the number of persons who contributed DNA material to the test sample.
