According to the standard solution and the determination method of the present invention, in a case where a voltage is applied by a drive voltage of a measurement apparatus to an electrode portion of a biosensor comprising an electrode portion including a counter electrode and a measuring electrode formed on an insulating substrate, and a reagent layer which reacts with a sample solution supplied to the electrode portion, and a current value which flows at the application is measured, thereby determining a substrate contained in the sample solution, a reducing substance is contained in the standard solution used for controlling a precision of measurement of the measurement apparatus. Therefore, when the standard solution is measured, a large change occurs in a current waveform between time t0 and t1 shown in FIG. 6 due to the reducing substance, thereby discriminating whether the analyte liquid being measured is the standard solution or the sample solution and easily identifying the kind of analyte liquid.

The invention generally relates to the field of immunoassays. In particular, the invention relates to use of a calibrator material to calibrate immunoassays for autoantibodies.

The invention relates a method of quantifying CD64 and CD163 expression in leukocytes and, specifically to a kit for use with a flow cytometer including a suspension of quantitative fluorescent microbead standards, fluorescent labeled antibodies directed to CD64 and CD163, and analytical software. The software is used to take information on the microbead suspension and fluorescent labeled antibodies from a flow cytometer and analyse data, smooth curves, calculate new parameters, provide quality control measures and notify of expiration of the assay system.

The present invention relates to method for the direct detection and / or quantification of at least one compound with a molecular weight of at least 200, wherein the compound to be detected and / or quantified is a chemically complex molecule, wherein said chemically complex molecule is substituted with at least two groups —R, wherein each R group means independently —OH, —OP(O)(OH)2 or —P(O)(OH)2, with the proviso that at least two R are independently selected from —P(O)(OH)2 and —OP(O)(OH)2, wherein the compound or compounds to be detected and / or quantified are within a biological matrix, wherein said biological matrix is a biological fluid, a biological tissue, stomach contents, intestine contents, stool sample or a culture cells, wherein the method comprises performing a chromatography and identifying the retention time and / or the intensity of the signal by means of a mass or radioactivity detector.

The invention provides populations of molecules that are prepared as, or treated to become, homogeneous for one or more molecular characteristics. In an aspect, the invention relates to molecular weight standards that may be used to determine the molecular weight or apparent molecular weight of uncharacterized molecules, such as proteins and nucleic acids, as well as in other applications. In one aspect, the molecular weight standards are pre-stained.

The present invention provides a method of monitoring calibration of a spectrophotometric apparatus that comprises one or more calibration algorithms for one or more analytes. This method comprises measuring absorbance of a quality control material with the apparatus to obtain a measurement, where the quality control material exhibits an absorbance spectra characterized as having a negative slope for a continuous spectral segment from about 5 nm to about 200 nm in length, and where the spectral segment includes a principal calibration wavelength for the one or more analytes. The method then involves calculating one or more concentration values from the measurement using the one or more calibration algorithms, followed by comparing the one or more concentration values with an assigned value given to the quality control material for each of the one or more analytes, and determining if there is a violation of a pre-established quality control rule. In this way one or more calibration algorithms of the apparatus may be monitored. A reagentless method for determining the concentration of one or more analytes in a sample in a spectrophotometric apparatus comprising at least one primary calibration algorithm is also disclosed. The present invention also provides to a method for selecting one or more substances as a quality control material for monitoring at least one primary calibration algorithm on a spectrophotometric apparatus. The present invention includes a quality control material for mimicking two or more analytes comprising, one or more substances having a combined absorption spectrum exhibiting a negative slope for a continuous spectral segment from about 5 nm to 200 nm in length, in a portion of an absorption spectrum, including one or more principal calibration wavelengths, for the two or more analytes."
