Quality control with LabLink xL™ software
LabLink xL software is the dedicated peer QC solution for Binding Site controls run on the Optilite® analyser. Providing a more real time review for controls, allowing the laboratory to monitor their mean values for precision and accuracy within a peer-group using the same system and the same control lot
As an integral part of laboratory testing quality assurance programs, peer comparison plays a crucial role. It entails comparing test results between laboratories to detect and rectify any systematic errors or biases that may exist.
LabLink xL software provides comparison of the accuracy and precision of analytical processes between laboratories and peer groups.
- Quality control: Peer comparison helps to ensure that laboratory test results are accurate and reliable
- Accreditation: Supports peer comparison as part of laboratory accreditation
- Economical: Peer comparison is an economical tool for laboratories, allowing early detection of potential shift in results
- Applicable to all special protein parameters that are part of Binding Site assay portfolio
- No patient data is displayed or transmitted, all peer information is anonymized for end users
- Allows affiliated groups to create their “own networked group” based on country or organization
- Secured, long-term QC data storage with AWS™
- Permissions hierarchy with multiple levels of user access
Perform all your daily QC activities inside LabLink xL software with interactive charts and graphs. Generate these reports on-demand or set the system to automatically generate reports e.g. at the beginning of each month for every active configured QC control lot. The generated reports can be automatically emailed to your inbox. Alternatively, choose to receive a notification when the reports are ready for download.

- Percentage Bias – Percentage difference between your observed test results and your lab’s target mean
- Coefficient of Variation (CVi) – Compares your lab’s CV to your target CV to evaluate precision with respect to your chosen target
- Standard Deviation Index (SDi) – Compares your lab’s mean to your target mean to evaluate accuracy with respect to your chosen target
- Sigma – Indicates how much your data varies from the total allowable error limit by calculating the number of standard deviations in a given test system that fit within your chosen quality goals
- Z Score – Measures how many standard deviations away an individual QC result is from the target mean
