The peak monitor of the Technicon SMAC system.
The peak-monitor software of the Technicon SMAC system has been investigated by experiments designed to test its ability to detect abnormally shaped peaks, deliberately produced by presenting serum samples of inadequate volume for analysis. The software provided by the manufacturer is shown to detect faulty peaks inefficiently, and a set of modified parameters has been identified which greatly improves the performance of the peak-monitor software.
