[Edit Criteria] dialog box

Configure the QC configuration with the category and criteria for the QC item. Start with the item at the top, and the subsequent items will be displayed accordingly.

1. Category

Select the category for the QC sample from the list, and click <Set>. The options displayed in the dialog box depend on the category.

• Sample: For QC samples and real samples. This is the standard category.
• Blank: For blank samples.
• Calib: For calibration solutions.
• Calibration Check: For items that are used to periodically test and verify the reliability of the standard solution.
• Spike: For spiked samples for recovery check. Matrix suppression and sample preparation recovery (when standard solution is spiked before sample preparation) can be checked using spike samples.
• Duplicate: For duplicate QC items.
• Dilution: For dilution QC items.
• ISTD: For ISTD QC items. ISTD is not an independent sample, and is always linked to other Sample types.
