Abstract:

Embodiments implementing selected automated quality control operations in sample processing instruments that analyze dye-labeled samples are disclosed. In some embodiments, temperature and/or pressure parameters are measured and compared to thresholds to determine whether warning should be provided and/or actions taken. Embodiments for implementing automated correction of spectral error during the instrument's normal runtime operation without requiring the user to conduct a special, separate calibration run are also disclosed.
