1. Log in as a user with the Manage labs/lots/tests permission.
2. Click the Configure tab.
3. Click Test.
4. If you have more than one lab number, make sure the correct number appears in the Lab number list.
5. Select the lot for which to add a test from the Lot list.
6. Select the analyte from the Analyte list.
7. Select the instrument/kit from the Instrument/Kit list.
8. Select a Reagent type:
   • Dedicated reagent or kit

     Select this option if the reagent manufacturer and the instrument/kit manufacturer are the same.

   • Alternate formulation/standardization

     Note: The Alternate formulation/standardization option is not commonly used. Do not select this option unless instructed to do so by your Bio-Rad QC Program Representative.

   • Factored

     Select this option when the QC data is mathematically altered to simulate results obtained on another instrument or at another temperature.

   • More reagents

     Select this option when using a reagent that is not supplied by the instrument manufacturer. Select More reagents and then select a reagent from the list. Select Other if the reagent does not appear in the list.

     Note: Unity™ Interlaboratory Reports are not available for reagents using a reagent code of Other. Bio-Rad recommends using Other only on a temporary basis until the appropriate reagent is added to the code list. Contact your Bio-Rad QC Program Representative to have codes added to the code list.

9. Select the method for the test from the Method list.
10. Select the unit of measure from the Unit of measure list.
11. Select the temperature from the Temperature list.

    Note: Temperature applies to enzymes only. For other analytes, No temperature is automatically selected and cannot be changed.

    The new test appears at the bottom of the Open tests list.
