CAUTION:

You need to run the calibration again when you change reagent lots,

The reagent blank is vital to obtaining correct analysis results. The
blank results can assist in determining whether the reagents have
expired, or whether the reaction background should be deducted, and
in eliminating the absorbance changes caused by the reagents
themselves. Mindray recommends the reagent blank be run on a daily
base.

The analyzer will use the result of the previous reagent blank run for
double-reagent tests that use endpoint method if no new reagent blank
result is available.
