ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for examining data from a chemical analyzer for artifactual results. A set of rules are established to identify artifactual results based upon experience with the analyzer. Moreover, each rule can be associated with a sample collection or testing problem which potentially caused the artifactual result. Using these rules, output data from the analyzer can be tested to see if any of the rules are satisfied. If a rule is satisfied, then an artifactual result can be indicated, as well as the potential cause of the artifactual result. An output file can be created which indicates the artifactual data samples and the potential artifactual causes. Preferably, the rules are provided in a user-modifiable data file, so that the rules may be modified based upon additional experience.
