Advanced MultiCalc
®
software
meets special data management requirements
Supports all evaluation programs.
MultiCalc supports all response programs and fitting
techniques, including five parametric logistic fit, cubic
regression and automatic spline. It can perform all
RIA/IRMA and related gamma procedures, either single
or dual label, as well as receptor assays, fraction plots
or assays where each unknown has its own curve to
be calculated.
MultiCalc PC network.
Form an independent network of two to five counters
connected to one MultiCalc PC. Several workstations
running MultiCalc can also be connected to a PC server to
join a larger local area network. Dedicated data files, such
as QC files, may reside in the server and be accessed by
one or several workstations. A MultiCalc PC network
provides a secure and easy method of working with data.
Automatically communicates with
mainframe computers.
MultiCalc can, for example, receive worklists from another
computer, add the results to the list and send them back,
either directly or with manual acceptance. The communication can take place automatically after each completed
assay batch.
MultiCalc features total programmability.
All program settings can be changed to fully comply
with your needs.
• Programmable output—new output formats can be
made and connected with a full set of arithmetical,
logical, statistical or conditional operators.
• Programmable transformations —freely modify preset
transformations to standard curves with a comprehensive set of commands.
• Programmable input — freely modify input data before
further processing.
• Programmable QC rules —write your own quality rules
to detect out of control situations using MultiCalc’s
special application language. Factory settings are
Westgard Multi-Rule for concentrations.
• Programmable population plot — plots any result field,
normal or user-specified, as a histogram. Dual plots are
also possible. Factory settings are concentration values
in patient samples.
• Programmable worklist — calculate each individual
patient result according to patient-dependent data such
as age, sex, weight or sample volume employing a unique
worklist concept.
• Precision profiles with overlays — plot the response-error
relationship to follow the dependence of measured
response and its error, both counting and total error.
Precision profiles follow dependence of %CV and
concentration, both counting and total error.
Overlaying and adding are possible.
• Ready for integration into any laboratory data system —
WIZARD gives you total freedom in the selection, evaluation and transfer of data. The RIA evaluation can take
place internally, or in the external PC. Data can be sent to
a serial or parallel printer or PC or you can use the builtin data logger to accumulate data without needing any
external device.
MultiCalc is a software package for external PC’s, suitable for labs doing immunological and other labeled
assays. MultiCalc works with gamma counters and other instrumentation as well, such as liquid scintillation
analyzers, fluorometers, and luminometers.
