Validating sample results
The Cedex Bio analyzer provides several aids for validating results:
o In the results list, results that fall outside predefined technical ranges are flagged.
o You can display detailed result information that allows you to make a considered
decision.
o Non flagged results can be accepted automatically.
o You c an pr int t he re su lts .
o You can export the results and process them on an external computer.
The following ways of dealing with results are available:
o Accept the result.
o Re-perform the identical test (Repeat).
o Re-perform the test using a predefined different dilution (Rerun).
The effect of flagged results depends on the configuration (Utilities > Configuration
> Result Handling). The following table shows how.

See Editing the acceptable flags list on page B-174.
There are two main approaches to validating results:
o To validate sample results of an order whose sample is still on board, press the
tube button on the Overview tab.
o In all other situations, choose Work pl ac e > Result Review.
Results must be accepted before they can be transmitted to a host or before they can be
automatically printed.
Ratio results cannot be manually accepted. They are automatically accepted if their con-
stituent results are accepted.
