ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and methods are disclosed for verifying one or more operational conditions of an optical inspection machine. A row of grooves (1-5) that simulate a reagent pad containing a specific type of analytes at known concentrations can be used for verification of the operation of the machine. Apparatus can include a row of grooves (1-5), each with different geometry, configured on an insertable device (20). The insertable device (20) can be positioned so that the row of grooves (1-5) can be illuminated by the readhead of the machine. If the optical inspection machine provides results corresponding to the known type(s) and concentrations of analyte(s), proper operation of the optical inspection machine is indicated. If the simulated type and concentration of specified reagen is not indicated, improper operation is indicated. Measurement error due to non-machine error is indicated when the known type and concentration of the analyte simulated by the rows (1-5) is indicated.
