Chapter 6 Analysis Principles and Calculation Methods

Chapter 6 Analysis Principles and Calculation Methods

6.1 Analysis Principles


Based on the theory of liquid’s absorbance of light or light transmission in suspension, the LW

C100plus measures the absorbance of the reaction liquid at each measuring point during the

reaction process, and calculates the concentration or activity of the analytes with corresponding

calibration parameters or calculation factors according to the absorbance change before and

after the reaction or the change rate of absorbance during reaction.

6.2 Analysis Procedure


This section introduces the analysis procedure of the LW C100plus by actions, action
positions, testing flow and measuring points.

6.2.1 Actions
The LW C100plus finishes all the tests by performing the following steps repeatedly:

 The reaction disk rotates to carry the cuvettes to the first set of wash probes and wash them

automatically.

 The reaction disk rotates 87 cuvettes positions (during rotating the absorbance of the reaction

liquid is measured) and then pauses; rotates to R1 dispensing position, pauses; rotates 90

cuvettes positions,then pauses.This whole process is called one period.

 During the 1st and the 81st period, R1, sample and R2 are dispensed and the reaction is

monitored. Absorbance measurement is performed once in each period.

 In the 81st period, the cuvettes are carried to the first set of wash probes and then washed.

After that, the next cycle begins.

Chapter 6 Analysis Principles and Calculation Methods

6.2.2 Action Positions

6.2.3 Testing Flow


The LW C100plus performs tests following the given work flow. Each reaction includes 49 test periods,

each of which takes 24 seconds in fast mode and 36 seconds in routine mode. See the figure below.

6.2.4 Measuring Point


Absorbance measurement is performed once in every period of the same reaction. There are

49 measuring points during the whole reaction process, and the interval between two is 24s in fast

mode and 36s in routine mode. See the figure below.

LW C100plus Operation Manual 84


Chapter 6 Analysis Principles and Calculation Methods

6.3 Analytical Methods


According to the reaction speed of the mixture, the LW C100plus provides three types of

analytical methods: endpoint, two-point and Kinetic. The following sections introduce these three

methods in detail.

6.3.1 Endpoint
With the analytical method of endpoint, the sample & reagent mixture reacts completely; all

analytes are changed to products under monitoring; the absorbance of the reaction liquid does not

change any more; the absorbance change before or after the reaction is directly proportional to

the initial concentration of the analytes.

The figure below shows a typical endpoint reaction curve.

LW C100plus Operation Manual 85


Chapter 6 Analysis Principles and Calculation Methods

6.3.2 Two-point
With the analytical method of two-point, the reaction velocity is directly proportional to the

concentration of the analytes within a specific period. Since the analytes are consumed

continuously, the reaction velocity decreases, and so does the change rate of the absorbance.

During this period, the absorbance change is directly proportional to the initial concentration of the

analytes.

The figure below shows a typical two-point reaction curve.

6.3.3 Kinetic
With the analytical method of Kinetic, the reaction velocity reaches the maximum and keeps

unchanged within a specific period; the reaction liquid are changed to products evenly at the

maximum speed; the absorbance of the analytes decreases or increases evenly and the change

rate (△ A/min) is directly proportional to the concentration or activity of the analytes. This method

6.4 Absorbance and Response

6.4.1 Absorbance
On the LW C100plus, the calculation formula of absorbance is as follows:
Absorbance = Log(ADwater - ADdark) / (ADliquid - ADdark)
Where,

1. Log stands for logarithm with the base number of 10.

2. AD is the value obtained through photoelectrical and analog-digital conversion of the

transmitted light.

3. ADdark is the AD value when the lamp is off;;ADwater is the AD value when the cuvette is

filled

with purified water.; ADliquid is the AD value when the reaction cuvette is filled with reaction

mixture.

4.The absorbance data on the reaction curve is 20000 times of the data calculated by using

the above

formula.

6.4.2 Response
On the LW C100plus, response refers to the absorbance change or change rate within the

start and end reaction points. It is a crucial intermediate factor and indispensible for calculating

calibration parameters and concentration. The calculation method of response varies with

different analytical methods, which are described as follows:

1. Endpoint analysis
Response = Absorbance at end point – (Absorbance at start point × Volume correction

factor)
Where,

 The start and end points can be defined on the Test Setting> Item Parameter screen.

 The absorbance, in case of single-wavelength, is that measured at the primary wavelength; in

case of double-wavelength, it is the difference between the absorbance measured at the

primary and secondary wavelengths.

 Volume correction factor = (Volume at start point)/(Volume at end point)

 To correct the response with sample blank, you should request sample blank test separately,

whose response( R Sb )is same as the above. The response after being corrected by sample

R'  R  RSb
blank is .

2. Two-point analysis
Response =(Absorbance at end point – Absorbance at start point)/(T2-T1)
Where,

 The start and end points can be defined on the Test Setting> Item Parameter screen.

 Absorbance at end point is the absorbance of the reaction end period,Absorbance at

start point is the absorbance of the reaction start period.

 T2 is the time of the reaction end point,T1 is the time of the reaction start point.

 The absorbance, in case of single-wavelength, is that measured at the primary wavelength; in

case of double-wavelength, it is the difference between the absorbance measured at the

primary and secondary wavelengths.

3. Kinetic analysis
Response = Absorbance change rate per minute within the start and end points
Where,

 The start and end points can be defined on the Set Tested Item Parameter screen.

 The absorbance, in case of single-wavelength, is that measured at the primary wavelength; in

case of double-wavelength, it is the difference between the absorbance measured at the

primary and secondary wavelengths.

6.5 Calibration

6.5.1 Calibration Methods


The LW C100plus provides two calibration methods: linear and nonlinear. Linear calibration

includes one-point, two-point and multi-point, which are mainly used for items determined by

colorimetry. Nonlinear calibration includes Logit-4P, Logit-5P, Exponential-5P, Polynomial-5P and

Spline, which are mainly used for items determined by turbidimetry.

6.5.2 Calibration Parameters


Each calibration method has certain parameters and calculation methods and is introduced in

detail.

1. One-point linear calibration

Formula: C=R/k, with 1 calibration parameter, e.g. k.

K=Rstd/Cstd

Where, Cstd is the concentration of calibrator, and Rstd is the response of calibrator.

2. Two-point linear calibration

Formula: C=(R-b)/k, with 2 calibration parameters, e.g. k and b.

k= (R2-R1) /(C2-C1)。

b= R1- C1(R2-R1) / (C2-C1)

Where, C1 and C2 are the concentration of calibrators 1 and 2; R1 and R2 are the response

of calibrators 1 and 2.

3. Multi-point linear calibration

Formula: C=(R-b)/k, with 2 calibration parameters, e.g. k and b.

The calibration parameters are calculated with multi-point linear regression.

4. Logit-4P

-(a+blnC)
Formula: R=R0+K/[1+e ], with 4 parameters, e.g. R0, K, a and b. This method

requires at least 4 calibrators. The concentration (or activity) of calibrator 1 is 0, and the

corresponding R is equal to R0. Other parameters are calculated with iterative method.

5. Logit-5P

LW C100plus Operation Manual 89


Chapter 6 Analysis Principles and Calculation Methods

-(a+blnC+c*C)
Formula: R=R0+K/[1+e ], with 5 parameters, e.g. R0, K, a, b and c. This method

requires at least 5 calibrators. The concentration (or activity) of calibrator 1 is 0, and the

corresponding R is equal to R0. Other parameters are calculated with iterative method.

6. Exponential-5P
[alnC+b(lnC)2+c(lnC)3]
Formula: R=R0+Ke , with 5 parameters, e.g. R0, K, a, b and c. This

method requires at least 5 calibrators. The concentration (or activity) of calibrator 1 is 0, and the

corresponding R is equal to R0. Other parameters are calculated with iterative method.

7. Polynomial-5P

Formula: LnC=a+b(R-R0)+c(R-R0)2+d(R-R0)3, with 5 parameters, e.g. R0, a, b, c and d. This

method requires at least 5 calibrators. The concentration (or activity) of calibrator 1 is 0, and the

corresponding R is equal to R0. Other parameters are calculated with iterative method.

8. Spline

Formula: C-Ci=R0i+ai(C-Ci)+bi(C-Ci)2+ci(C-Ci)3-R, with 4i parameters, e.g. R0i, ai, bi and ci.

This method requires at least 2 calibrators. The calibration parameters are calculated with

iterative method.

6.6 Concentration
1. With the analytical method of Kinetic, calibration can be neglected. You should enter the

calculation factor F. The concentration is the product of response R and F. For other types of

items, you should run calibration tests first. The concentration will be calculated with the

obtained calibration parameters.

2. For the calibration methods of linear, Logit-4P or Polynomial-5P, the concentration can be

calculated with the calibration parameters and response R.

3. For the calibration methods of Logit-5P, Exponential-5P or Spline, the concentration can be

calculated with the dichotomy method based on the response R and calibration parameters.

6.7 QC

6.7.1 QC Rules
The LW C100plus takes Westgard multi-rule as the default.

The Westgard multi-rule includes 6 sub-rules, which are listed in the table below:
Symbol Explanation QC Conclusion

The QC judgment flow of the LW C100plus is illustrated in the figure below:

6.7.2 QC Types
The LW C100plus provides three QC types, which are real-time, daily and day-to-day. QC
judgment is made according to the set QC rule.
Real-time QC: 10 consecutive QC data are collected on the same day for judgment.
Daily QC: All QC data are collected on the same day for judgment.
Day-to-day QC: All QC data are collected on different days for judgment.

6.7.3 QC Plot
The LW C100plus provides three types of QC plots: Levey-Jennings (L-J), cumulative sum
check and Twin Plot.
1. L-J plot
The measured QC values are the Y-coordinates. A horizontal line is leaded from the target

Chapter 6 Analysis Principles and Calculation Methods

value, with +1SD, +2SD and +3SD marked above it, and -1SD, -2SD and -3SD marked below it.

Based on the six values, six straight lines are drawn in parallel with the target value line and

marked with ±1SD, ±2SD and ±3SD. The L-J plot is formed by connecting the adjacent points of

measured QC values in the coordinate system.

2. Cumulative sum check plot

The cumulative sum of a control is calculated and taken as the Y-coordinate, and the test time

is the X-coordinate. A horizontal line is leaded from 0 and another two straight lines are drawn in

parallel with it at the control limit h above and below it. The control limit is calculated automatically

according to the QC rule you have set up. The cumulative sum plot is formed by connecting the

adjacent points of cumulative sums marked in the coordinate system. Any point beyond the two

limit lines is deemed out of control.


3. Twin Plot
A Twin Plot can be generated if an item is run with two controls of different concentration.

According to the set target value and SD of each control, the measured value of the

low-concentration control is the X-coordinate and that of the high-concentration control is the

Y-coordinate. The average of the two values is used to draw the center line. The ±1SD, ±2SD and

±3SD are adopted to draw lines parallel to the X-/Y-axis. The measured results of the two controls

at each time constitute a point, which is marked in the coordinate system. An example of Twin-Plot

is shown below.

means random error.

6.8 Other Calculations

6.8.1 Calibration Curve


1. Calibration sensitivity
If the difference between the responses of highest-/lowest-concentration calibrators is lower
than the set value, the calibration is failed.
2. Response of blank calibrator
If the response of a zero-concentration calibrator is greater than the set value, the calibration
is failed.
3. Calibration repeatability
If the difference between the maximum and minimum response of the three of each calibrator
is greater than the set value, the calibration is failed.
4. SD of calibration curve
Standard deviation is applied to multi-point linear and nonlinear calibration curves only. The
standard deviation (SD) is the square root of the quotient between the square of response
difference (response R and calculated response Ri) and the degree of freedom. The calculation
formulas are introduced as follows.

See the formula below:

N n
2 2

i 1 j 1
R2 

Where, C is the concentration of a calibrator; R is the response; N is the number of calibrators;


n is the number of valid tests.

NOTE
On the LW C100plus, each calibrator is tested for 3 times. The
concentration is the average of the two values rather than the most
deviated one. Therefore, n is constantly 2.

6.8.2 Substrate Depletion


Substrate depletion is applied to Kinetic and two-point analysis only. Some

high-concentration (activity) samples cause the substrate to deplete quickly, and the reaction

velocity is deviated from the expected one (zero-order or first-order reaction). To ensure reliable

test results, judgment of substrate depletion is required. See the introduction below.

1. Ascending reaction

If the absorbance at any one or more points is greater than the set value within the start and

end reaction points, substrate is depleted.

2. Descending reaction

If the absorbance at any one or more points is lower than the set value within the start and

end reaction points, substrate is depleted.

6.8.3 Linearity Check


Linearity check is applied to Kinetic analysis only. Within the start and end reaction point, the

LW C100plus Operation Manual 94


Chapter 6 Analysis Principles and Calculation Methods

linearity of the reaction curve is checked against the set value according to the measured value at

each measuring point. The calculation of linearity limit is introduced as follows:

1. If there are more than 9 measuring points within the start and end reaction points,

Linearity limit=(Absorbance change rate at first 6 measuring points - Absorbance change

rate at last 6 measuring points)/Absorbance change rate at all measuring points

2. If 4 ≤ Number of measuring points within the start and end reaction points ≤ 8

Linearity limit=(Absorbance change rate at first 3 measuring points - Absorbance change

rate at last 3 measuring points)/Absorbance change rate at all measuring points

3. The linearity will not be calculated in the following conditions:

 Number of measuring points ≤ 3.

 The absorbance change rate is lower than 0.006/min, or the difference of absorbance

change rate is lower than 0.006/min.

 Reagent blank tests, sample blank tests or blank calibrators are run.

6.8.4 Prozone Check


During the reaction of antigen and antibody, the amount of generated insoluble compound is

closely related to the proportion between antigen and antibody. When antigen and antibody is

proportioned properly, maximum amount of insoluble compound is generated, that is, least light is

passed and absorbance is the highest. Otherwise, amount of insoluble compound is reduced,

more light is passed, and absorbance is decreased. See the figure below. Without prozone check,

very high-concentration samples may produce same amount of insoluble compound as

low-concentration samples and thus an incorrect result may be reported.

If PC is larger than the set prozone check value, prozone occurs.
2. Single-reagent endpoint analysis

LW C100plus Operation Manual 96
Chapter 6 Analysis Principles and Calculation Methods

If PC is larger than the set prozone check value, prozone occurs.

6.8.5 Reaction Equilibrium Check


Reaction equilibrium is applied to endpoint analysis only. The LW C100plus checks if the

reaction reaches equilibrium at the end point according to the absorbance measured at each

measuring point.

1. The difference between the absorbance measured at three consecutive measuring points at

and after the end reaction points is calculated.

2. If all the differences are less than 0.01, the reaction has reached equilibrium, and vice versa.

3. If the end reaction point exceeds 47, the system will not perform the equilibrium check.

6.8.6 Lamp Status Check


1. The light intensity will be detected each time when startting up the system.

2. When the light intensity at 340nm is less that 50% of the initial value, the warning information

will comes out to remind you that the light intensity is insufficient and please replace the

lamp in time. At this time,you are allowed to continue the test, but the warning information

will comes out each time before you start the test to remind you that the insufficient light

intensity may affect the test result. ; when the light intensity at 340nm is less than 30% of the

initial value. it will remind you the light intensity is so insufficient that you have to replace the

lamp immediately.At this time,you are not allowed to continue the test and you have to

measure the water blank after you replace the lamp and run the software again.

6.8.7 Cuvette Status Check


The initial value of the ADwater at all wavelengths is set to 50000.The value has to be adjusted

to around 50000 before delivery of the analyzer. and it should not be less than 45000.The 40% of

the initial value is used as the limit value for determining dirty cuvette.If it is lower than the limit

value,the system will warn that the cuvette is dirty.Judgements of dirty cuvette will be made each

time when testing the ADwater.And the judgement is based on the ratio of minimum ADwater to

initial ADwater.

8.1 Terminology

8.1.1 AD Value
The light that reaches the detector generates current, which is amplified and then transferred

to photovoltage (analog signals) after passing through the fixed resistor. The photovoltage is

converted to corresponding numeric value via the AD (analog-digital) converter. The obtained

numeric value is an AD value.

8.1.2 Dark Current


Dark current refers to the AD value obtained when the lamp is turned off, e.g. no signal light is

transmitted. It is equivalent to the circuit background and should be subtracted during absorbance

calculating.

8.1.3 Water Blank


Water blank refers to the absorbance of a cuvette filled with purified water..Absorbance is a

relative concept and based upon the standard absorbance value. In the LW C100plus,the

absorbance of the water blank is 0 and should be subtracted for calculating any other absorbance.

8.1.4 Measuring Point


The specific moment for photoelectric measuring is called a measuring point and indicated by

a numeric value. Each measuring point is strictly determined and closely related with one another.

In the LW C100plus, each reaction process is divided into 49 measuring points. The interval

between two is 24s in fast mode and 36s in normal mode.

8.1.5 Absorbance
Absorbance is the logarithm of minus quotient between the transmitted light intensity and the

input light intensity. In the LW C100plus, transmitted light intensity is the AD value of a reaction

cuvette filled with distilled water; the final absorbance is the product of the calculated value ×

20000.

LW C100plus Operation Manual 115


Chapter 8 Appendices

8.1.6 Reaction Curve


Reaction curve consists of several points with measuring point as the X-coordinate and
absorbance as the Y-coordinate. The following figure shows a typical reaction curve of the
LW C100plus.

Absorbance

Measuring Point

8.1.7 Response
Response refers to the absorbance change before and after the reaction, or the absorbance

change rate during the reaction process.

8.1.8 Calibration
Calibration is a sample measurement, during which one or more samples (or calibrators) with

given concentration (or activity) are measured to get its response. According to the set calibration

method (linear or nonlinear), an optimal curve is fit based on the given concentration and the

calculated response and used to generate an equation. By using the curve, a sample can be

measured to get its response, which is then employed to calculate its concentration or activity.

8.1.9 Calibration Curve


Calibration curve is a curve fit by the optimal equation based on several points with

concentration (or activity) as the X-coordinate and response as the Y-coordinate.

8.1.10 Calibration Parameter


Calibration parameter refers to any other item rather than concentration and response in a

calibration formula.
