ABSTRACT:
A method of monitoring calibration of a spectrophotometric apparatus that includes one or more than one calibration algorithm for one or more than one analyte, involves measuring absorbance of a quality control material with the apparatus to obtain a measurement, calculating one or more than one value from the measurement using the one or more than one calibration algorithm, and comparing the one or more than one value with an assigned value given to the quality control material for each of the one or more than one analyte. The quality control material exhibits an absorbance spectrum having a negative slope for a continuous spectral segment from about 5 nm to about 200 nm in length, and the spectral segment includes a principal calibration wavelength for the one or more than one analyte. A reagentless method for determining the concentration of one or more than one analyte in a sample in a spectrophotometric apparatus having at least one primary calibration algorithm is also disclosed. Also provided is a method for selecting one or more than one substance as a quality control material for monitoring one or more than one primary calibration algorithm on a spectrophotometric apparatus. Also described is a quality control material for monitoring the calibration algorithms for two or more than two analytes including one or more than one substance 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.
