Abstract

A method for calibrating a clinical laboratory analytical instrument that includes generating control pool data from a commutable control pool, wherein the control pools have target analyte values for an assay, generating patient specimen data from a distribution of test values from patient specimens, determining tolerance limits from the control pool data and the patient specimen data; and adjusting the calibration of the instrument with respect to the tolerance limits.
