    Abstract: Immunoblotting systems and method are provided. In one embodiment, the method may be achieved by applying an antibody solution to a surface of a membrane having an optically detectable protein and a target protein transferred thereon, wherein the application of the antibody solution is guided by a signal emitted from the optically detectable protein; and detecting the target protein. Systems and other methods are also described and illustrated.

    Abstract: One embodiment of the invention is directed to a method of analyzing liquid chromatography data. The method comprises collecting, by a data processing system, first volume fractions data from a first liquid chromatography column for a first absorbance wavelength of light λ1 from a first run of a liquid chromatography process on a mixture, wherein the first liquid chromatography column screens for a first characteristic of the mixture. The method further comprising, normalizing a first relative peak area for a first volume of a component of interest in the mixture for the first absorbance wavelength λ1 to obtain a first set of purity quotient values PQ1, collecting second volume fractions data from a second liquid chromatography column for a second absorbance wavelength of light λ2 from a second run of a liquid chromatography process on the mixture, wherein the second liquid chromatography column screens for a second characteristic of the mixture, normalizing a second relative peak area for the second volume of the component of interest in the mixture for the second absorbance wavelength λ2 to obtain a second set of purity quotient values PQ2, storing the values PQ1 and PQ2 in a memory, calculating a difference between values PQ1 and PQ2 for each volume fraction location of the first and second volumes to obtain a first set of purity quotient difference (“PQD”) values, displaying in a graphical display the first set of PQD values, and determining which volume fractions to pool together based on the display of the first set of PQD values.

    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and systems are disclosed for analyzing quality control (QC) strategies that are applied to testing processes an analyte in order to meet an acceptable level of probability of patient harm that could result from incorrect test results. The measure of patient harm takes into account severity of patient harm, as well as its occurrence. Methods include calculating, based on the parameters of the QC strategies and the test apparatus, an expected number of incorrect final results E(Nuf) due to a test system failure. The value of E(Nuf) can be used as part of a calculation of a predicted level of probability patient harm. The ratio of the acceptable level of probability of patient harm to the predicted level of probability patient harm can determine the adequacy of the QC strategies.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses are provided for identifying an optimal spectral match and potentially display the compared spectra. A sample spectrum of a sample substance can be compared to reference spectra to identify matches, thereby determining possibilities for what the sample substance is. Correction parameter(s) may be used for the sample spectrum and/or the reference spectrum. Initial value(s) for the correction parameter(s) can be applied to the sample spectrum and/or a reference spectrum, and a similarity score can be determined. The value(s) for the correction parameter(s) can be updated and iteratively improved to provide an optimal similarity score that satisfies a convergence criterion. Data about the reference substances having optimal similarity scores that are above a threshold can be output to a user, e.g., the reference spectra can overlay the sample spectrum. A user can then make a final determination of which reference substance corresponds to the sample substance.
