With permission of the Journal of Clinical Chemistry, we are able to make these papers available to you on this website. The first paper details how a QC planning approach was used to select control rules and numbers of measurement for seventeen tests on a multitest analytical system. The second paper demonstates the cost savings realized by this approach -- a productivity gain of 2.9% ($17,400/year or $87,000 over the five-year lifetime of an instrument).
In order to preserve the original appearance of these papers, we have used Adobe Acrobat software to create Portable Document Files (*.PDF). You will need special software -- The Adobe Acrobat Reader -- in order to view the multirule paper. Also, the size of the files are much larger than normal *.html files, since they exactly match the original fonts, layout and graphics. They will take some additional time to download.
