Abstract:

The problems in the calibration of automatic biochemistry analyzers are investigated. Clinical laboratories should attach the importance to the calibration of automatic biochemistry analyzers and standardize the process of calibration. The review mainly discusses the questions in the plan of calibration and verification, the purpose of calibration, the selection of calibration methods, calibration performers and the process and content of calibration. We provide feasible solutions to these problems through discussion and analysis. Consumables and parts for automatic biochemistry analyzers should be checked up, cared, maintained and replaced periodically. It is necessary to insure automatic biochemistry analyzers working in best state by preventive maintenance. The measurements for instrument maintenance and inspection can be established, including calibration and verification to improve the quality of clinical laboratory determinations.
