Abstract
A system for mitigating instrumentation differences in laboratory instruments includes one or more groups of laboratory instruments in communication with a normalization server over a network. Each group of instruments communicates output data to the normalization server which then presents normalized data to the groups of laboratory instruments. Various exemplary embodiments of the system and associated methods are provided.
Claims14
A system for normalizing groups of laboratory instruments, the system comprising:
- one or more groups of laboratory instruments;
- and
- a normalization server in communication with the groups of laboratory instruments;
- wherein the groups of laboratory instruments send data indicative of outputs to the normalization system and wherein the normalization system outputs normalized outputs to the groups of laboratory instruments.
A method for standardizing instrument results from a plurality of laboratory instruments, the method comprising the steps of:
- obtaining testing specimen data from a first of a group of laboratory instruments;
- normalizing the first laboratory instrument testing specimen data according to a first normalization curve;
- and
- adjusting the first laboratory instrument data according to the first normalization curve.
