Form:

General tab:

  • Page size—The number of samples (including QC samples) displayed on one page of analysis on the instrument or job sheet.
  • Number blanks—The number of blank samples included in a block of samples containing Blank block size number of unknown samples. Click ... to select the specific types of blank samples.
  • Blank block size—The number of unknown samples in which Number blanks one group of blank samples are placed.
  • Blank calc position—The method of determining how many from the group of blanks are included, where there is an incomplete block of unknown samples. Selected from either:
    • ABS (absolute)—The full number of blank samples are included, regardless of the incomplete block of unknown samples.
    • PRO (pro-rate)—The number of blank samples included is based upon the ratio of the number of samples in the incomplete block to the Blank block size.
  • Blank position—The placement of the blank samples within the block of samples. A position must be specified for each blank in the group of blank samples, comma-delimited. Click ... to visually select the positions of the blanks within the block.
  • Number standards—The number of standard samples included in a block of samples containing Standard block size number of unknown samples. Click ... to select the specific types of standard samples.
  • Standard block size—The number of unknown samples in which Number standards one group of standard samples are placed.
  • Standard calc position—The method of determining how many from the group of standards are included, where there is an incomplete block of unknown samples. Selected from either:
    • ABS (absolute)—The full number of standard samples are included, regardless of the incomplete block of unknown samples.
    • PRO (pro-rate)—The number of standard samples included is based upon the ratio of the number of samples in the incomplete block to the Standard block size.
  • Standard position—The placement of the standard samples within the block of samples. A position must be specified for each standard in the group of blank samples, comma-delimited. Click ... to visually select the positions of the standards within the block.
  • Number spikes—The number of spike samples included in a block of samples containing Spike block size number of unknown samples. Click ... to select the specific types of spike samples.
  • Spike block size—The number of unknown samples in which Number spikes one group of spike samples are placed.
  • Spike calc position—The method of determining how many from the group of spikes are included, where there is an incomplete block of unknown samples. Selected from either:
    • ABS (absolute)—The full number of spike samples are included, regardless of the incomplete block of unknown samples.
    • PRO (pro-rate)—The number of spike samples included is based upon the ratio of the number of samples in the incomplete block to the Spike block size.
  • Spike selection—The method of selecting which unknown samples are spiked. Selected from either:
    • RND (random)—Unknown samples are randomly selected for spiking.
    • BEG (beginning)—Unknown samples from the beginning of the block of samples are selected for spiking.
    • END—Unknown samples from the end of the block of samples are selected for spiking.
  • Spike position—The placement of the spiked samples within the block of samples. A position must be specified for each spike in the group of spiked samples, comma-delimited. Selected from either:
    • IMM (immediate)—Spiked samples are placed immediately after the related unknown sample.
    • END—Spiked samples are placed at the end of the block of samples. Default.
  • Number reps—The number of times that all unknown samples in the block are replicated:
    • Where Number reps = 1 and Rep block size = 1, then all unknown samples are replicated and each replicate sample is placed after its related unknown sample. In this case, END is equivalent to IMM placement.
    • Where Number reps = 999 and Rep block size = 999, then all unknown samples are replicated and all replicate samples are placed after all unknown samples.
  • Rep block size—The number of samples (comprised of unknown, added blanks, added standards and added spiked samples) in which one group of replicate samples are placed.
  • Rep calc position—The method of determining how many from the group of replicates are included, where there is an incomplete block of unknown samples. Selected from either:
    • ABS (absolute)—The full number of replicate samples are included, regardless of the incomplete block of unknown samples.
    • PRO (pro-rate)—The number of replicate samples included is based upon the ratio of the number of samples in the incomplete block to the Rep block size.
  • Rep selection—The method of selecting which unknown samples are replicated. Selected from either:
    • RND (random)—Unknown samples are randomly selected for replication.
    • BEG (beginning)—Unknown samples from the beginning of the block of samples are selected for replication.
    • END—Unknown samples from the end of the block of samples are selected for replication.
  • Rep position—The placement of the replicated samples within the block of samples. A position must be specified for each replicate in the group of replicated samples, comma-delimited. Selected from either:
    • IMM (immediate)—Replicated samples are placed immediately after the related unknown sample.
    • END—Replicated samples are placed at the end of the block of samples. Default.
  • Number rereads—The number of samples for re-reading.
