Laboratory contamination control results calculator

Calculate control checks and affected batch IDs with your own figures.

Your numbers

Use the units shown. Results update as you change valid inputs.

Use control checks and affected batch IDs to compare changes to your inputs. The method and limits below explain the scope.

Examples

Examples

Try the starting example

Controls [batch ID,control ID,observed,min acceptable,max acceptable]
[["B1","blank",0.01,0,0.05],["B1","positive",1,0.8,1.2],["B2","blank",0.1,0,0.05]]
Control checks
[["B1","blank","Within supplied limits"],["B1","positive","Within supplied limits"],["B2","blank","Outside supplied limits"]]
Affected batch IDs
["B2"]

Try another scenario

Controls [batch ID,control ID,observed,min acceptable,max acceptable]
[["B1","blank",0.01,0,0.05],["B1","positive",1,0.8,1.2],["B2","blank",0.02,0,0.05]]
Control checks
[["B1","blank","Within supplied limits"],["B1","positive","Within supplied limits"],["B2","blank","Within supplied limits"]]
Affected batch IDs

Calculation method

Calculation method

Control checks

Each reading compared with supplied inclusive lower/upper bounds.

Affected batch IDs

Unique batches with at least one control outside supplied bounds; no automatic clinical interpretation.

Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • Control labels, observed readings, supplied rules. Returns Failed controls and affected batches. All coefficients and observations are user supplied; results describe only the stated mathematical model. Quantities are deterministic calculations from supplied observations and assumptions; no external data is fetched. Supported limits: Finite inputs only; numeric fields bounded as labelled. Lists and JSON records are limited to 256 entries unless a stricter tool bound is stated. No automatic design approval, legal conclusion, treatment recommendation or safety certification.
Are these inputs private?
