When complete, select the X in the upper-right corner to close the window and continue. With high sigma methods, the difference between typical performance and the Total Allowable Error limit is sufficiently large that a simple single rule protocol such as plus or minus 3 SD can readily catch any significant change in method performance before the method exceeds the allowable limit.  In the example shown here, by the time results have shifted enough so that 5% or more exceed the Total Allowable Error limit, the 1-3s QC rule would have easily and consistently detected the change.  This also allows us the benefit of the very low false positive rate associated with 3 SD limits, which will make the QC process more efficient.  On the other hand, a low sigma method does not have the same cushion to work with.  In this case using a 1-3s rule will not be effective because we will have exceeded the error limit well before the 3 SD limit will consistently indicate the change in performance.  In this case a multi-rule protocol will be more effective.  The rules to use will depend on the Sigma Metric.   The Aptio track provides automated delivery of samples to all modules and analytical instruments. The track includes: Linear track Analyzer buffer track Track L-Turn module Track T- Module Track U-Turn module Track Heads Sample carriers or pucks Track Components Learn about the track components.
