Compare results and use Trending

Choose the comparison question

Know which preparations, result quantities and Method versions you intend to compare. Use the comparison or trend to inform your investigation; interpret any differences alongside your assay knowledge and laboratory procedure.

Compare two analyses

If a candidate is not offered or the comparison is rejected as incompatible, check family/model and result availability. Relative-potency and concentration analyses cannot be made equivalent by forcing a comparison.

1. Open Analyses. Use Search and Run type as needed, then Apply filters. Load more analyses if the desired records are not yet loaded.
2. Select Baseline result, then a compatible Candidate result. Choose Compare results.
3. Check the named baseline and candidate and compare their settings and preparation results. Follow the source analysis links to inspect the full result and report before drawing a conclusion.

Inspect a Method’s routine results over time

1. Open Trending and select Method and Method version. Use the fixed approved or retired version relevant to the historical question; changing the version changes the dataset.
2. Select an available metric, such as Relative potency, and Sample when required. Set From date and Through date; these define an inclusive UTC date range.
3. Read the chart and any signal, and check which analyses contributed. Select a plotted result or an Open signal input analysis link to inspect the saved analysis behind it.
4. If Repeated failure signal detected appears, review the Results used and the failed criteria in those analyses. Record the investigation and disposition in your own procedure.

Interpret an empty or rejected view

No completed results means none match the selected version, metric, sample and date range. Check all four before concluding that the Team has no results.

If results are incompatible, check that they use the same Method version and a comparable model and quantity.

You can open each contributing analysis to investigate a comparison or trend. Its original results remain unchanged, and your laboratory’s review procedure still applies.
