LDMS cannot read results from PK assays or result files. To store PK results in LDMS, you must copy the
results from a spreadsheet generated by your assay (preferred) or enter the results manually.
Before you begin
- Create the necessary PK assay templates (one template per combination of analytes to be tested).
- Create a new assay run using the appropriate PK assay template.
- If calibration standards or quality controls are needed, these must already have been created.
Procedure
-
On the Preview tab, select the Detection Platform and
Run Type.
-
(If needed) Add calibration standards or quality controls by clicking Add Calibration
Standards or Add Quality Controls.
You will be prompted to select the lot and quantity to be added.
-
Move lots and specimens to the correct position using the Move Up and
Move Down buttons.
-
Click Run Now.
Tip: If you want to save this run and enter results later, click Run Later
instead.
You will be taken to the Results tab.
-
At the top of the Results tab, select the Assay Date and enter
the Tech Initials.
-
For each specimen and lot, enter its results.
- To enter results by hand for each specimen by selecting each specimen and entering the results below it,
use Traditional View (this is the default method).
- To copy and paste results from a spreadsheet, use SpreadSheet View.
- If a result was not obtained, right-click it and select No Result Obtained.
-
After all results have been entered, click Calculate.
-
After any censor and changes have been applied, save the results by clicking .
Results
LDMS will accept the results entered and apply any system censors, if applicable.
What to do next
- (If needed) Assign user censors.
- Generate the PK Assay Result Report by clicking the Generate Report
button in the LDMS toolbar.
- Click Result Options to view a key of censors, display acceptability details for
controls, or modify results (returns the run back to its “run not performed” state).
- Review and accept the assay results.
