4.5.1. Monitoring and Measurement<br />
Citation chapter 4.5.1:<br />
• “The organization shall ensure that calibrated or<br />
verified monitoring and measurement equipment<br />
is used and maintained i and shall retain associated<br />
records.”<br />

What kind of Analytical Quality Assurance is<br />
required for getting g good results and meeting<br />
international standards?<br />
• Installation (e.g. IQ, OQ, PQ) must be done after receiving <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>system</strong>.<br />
• Instruments must be regularly checked.<br />
• Accessories like e.g. certified glass ware must be re-checked.<br />
• Pipettes, balances and o<strong>the</strong>r equipment must be regularly checked<br />
and calibrated.<br />
• The staff performance incl. <strong>the</strong> chemicals and/or test kits must be<br />
checked by running some standards and testing <strong>the</strong> recovery rate.<br />
• Interfering substances for different samples must be checked.<br />
– Dilution, Spiking and e.g. multi Spiking <strong>the</strong>refore is required.<br />

SelfCheck of NOVA 30/60/400 & <strong>Pharo</strong> 100/300<br />
• When <strong>the</strong> instruments are switched on, automatically <strong>the</strong> photometers<br />
start with a SelfCheck procedure. The instruments are checking <strong>the</strong><br />
following steps:<br />
• Optical <strong>system</strong><br />
- lamp<br />
- shaft for cell tests incl. <strong>the</strong> barcode reading <strong>system</strong><br />
- reagent test kit shaft incl. <strong>the</strong> diodes for identifying <strong>the</strong> cells sizes<br />
- optical <strong>system</strong> incl. photomultiplier<br />
• Electronic <strong>system</strong> - Check of all electronic compounds<br />
• Check of <strong>the</strong> complete <strong>system</strong><br />
- <strong>the</strong> <strong>system</strong> is measuring against air and comparing <strong>the</strong> result against<br />
<strong>the</strong> stored (in-build internal) tolerance.<br />
• Only when all steps are successfully passed <strong>the</strong> instrument is going into<br />
<strong>the</strong> measuring mode or <strong>the</strong> measuring can be started.<br />

Analytical Quality Assurance<br />
Hardware control – AQA level 1<br />
• How to test <strong>the</strong> instruments?<br />
- Therefore we created a test kits using round cells – PhotoCheck.<br />
• What are <strong>the</strong> advantages for customers using PhotoCheck?<br />
- The PhotoCheck solutions are checked by an reference<br />
spectrophotometer (primary standard) which is controlled by<br />
NIST standards.<br />
- PhotoCheck is traceable to NIST and has a shelf life of 3 years.<br />
• All lot certificates are in <strong>the</strong> Internet.<br />
• With PhotoCheck customers are able to check <strong>the</strong> hardware by<br />
<strong>the</strong>mselves. PhotoCheck meets <strong>the</strong> requirement of ISO 9001, ISO<br />
14001 & ISO 17025.<br />

Analytical Quality Assurance –<br />
<strong>System</strong> control – AQA level 2<br />
• What is necessary to monitor <strong>the</strong> complete <strong>system</strong>?<br />
• Customers should run standards.<br />
- To know that <strong>the</strong> handling is correct and that <strong>the</strong>y are able<br />
to get correct results<br />
- Frequency depends on <strong>the</strong> customer and should be<br />
reflecting <strong>the</strong> importance of <strong>the</strong> results<br />
• Customers should test <strong>the</strong> recovery rate to identify matrix<br />
influences<br />
• That’s <strong>the</strong> reason why we create CombiCheck<br />

Analytical Quality Assurance –<br />
<strong>System</strong> control – AQA level 2<br />
• CombiCheck – <strong>the</strong> multi usable AQA tool to check <strong>the</strong><br />
complete <strong>system</strong>.<br />
• Two solutions are coming with <strong>the</strong> box<br />
- R-1 (ready-to-use standard)<br />
- R-2 (addition solution for spiking to test <strong>the</strong> recovery)<br />
• CombiCheck can be used for Spectroquant ® Picco, Multy,<br />
NOVA, <strong>Pharo</strong> and e.g. also spectrophotometers.<br />
• Advantage:<br />
The NOVA and <strong>Pharo</strong> photometers are pre-programmed with<br />
<strong>the</strong> target values of <strong>the</strong> R-1 solution from CombiCheck.<br />
June 03, 2008 Complete solutions Page 10
How is <strong>the</strong> CombiCheck reagent R-1 working?<br />
CombiCheck R-1 = multi parameter solution in one bottle<br />
• Instead of using <strong>the</strong> sample, add<br />
<strong>the</strong> same quantity of <strong>the</strong> R-1<br />
(standard solution) to <strong>the</strong> test and<br />
measure <strong>the</strong> result.<br />
• result = same as expected ☺<br />
protocol result in control chart<br />
• result ≠ different as expected <br />
- error in <strong>the</strong> <strong>system</strong>, check <strong>system</strong>,<br />

<strong>System</strong> control – AQA level l 2<br />
What are <strong>the</strong> advantages for customers using CombiChecks?<br />
• CombiChecks are ready-to-use test kits for <strong>system</strong> control<br />
(shelf life 2 years).<br />
• Each pack CombiCheck contains R-1 (standard solution) and R-2<br />
(addition solution – spiking). They are prepared by <strong>the</strong> high-precision<br />
weighing of standard substances.<br />
• All analytical scales used are regularly calibrated and monitored against<br />
standards of <strong>the</strong> PTB (Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt, Germany)<br />
and NIST (National Institute t of Standards d and Technology, USA).<br />
• The standard substances can be traced back directly to e.g. <strong>the</strong><br />
respective NIST standard reference material - CombiChecks are<br />
traceable to NIST<br />
- Certificates of quality and <strong>the</strong> lot certificate are in <strong>the</strong> Internet.<br />
• With CombiCheck our customers are able to do a control of <strong>the</strong> whole<br />
<strong>system</strong> which is required from ISO 9001, ISO 14001 & ISO 17025.<br />

June 03, 2008 Complete solutions Page 41
The need for MatrixCheck<br />
• What is <strong>the</strong> matrix effect?<br />
– Besides <strong>the</strong> parameter, which needs to be analysed,<br />
<strong>the</strong> sample may include o<strong>the</strong>r substances, which can<br />
interfere with <strong>the</strong> current form of analysis.<br />
– Details are described in <strong>the</strong> package inserts in <strong>the</strong><br />
chapter “influence of foreign substances”.<br />
– The effect of several interferences can only be checked<br />
by diluting or spiking <strong>the</strong> sample.<br />
June 03, 2008 Complete solutions Page 42
MatrixCheck by spiking<br />
on SQ <strong>Pharo</strong><br />
NEW<br />
• To detect a matrix effect, you<br />
can spike your sample with a<br />
selected standard solution.<br />
• Therefore you have to prepare<br />
up to three solutions with<br />
different mixing ratio of sample<br />
and standard solution.<br />
• The left round cell includes just<br />
<strong>the</strong> sample (after colour<br />
reaction), <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>rs includes <strong>the</strong><br />
sample and standard solution in<br />
a predefined d mixing i ratio.<br />
• First <strong>the</strong> sample is measured,<br />
before <strong>the</strong> MatrixCheck is<br />
performed.<br />

• If <strong>the</strong> recovery is in a range of<br />

June 03, 2008 Complete solutions Page 44
MatrixCheck by dilution<br />
• An o<strong>the</strong>r method to detect matrix<br />
effects is to dilute <strong>the</strong> sample<br />
with a predefined volume of<br />

• Up to three predefined dilutions<br />
are required.<br />
• The left round cell includes just<br />
