Development of Standard Operating Procedures for Quality Performance on Abbott Analyzers

Development of Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) for Quality Performance on Abbott Analyzers to Support Training University Laboratory Technician Students

This project is to improve training process for the students in university laboratory science courses by developing a detailed, step by step Standard Operating Procedure (SOPs) for the Abbott Architect c8000 and i2000SR analyzers. These clinical analyzers are used for student training in university laboratory, however, current SOPs used need clarity and detail for new trainees to be able to perform the quality and analysis tasks on analyzers independently. The objectives of the project are to develop a clear understanding of the operation of the Abbott Architect c8000 and i2000SR analyzers. Secondly, to provide two detailed SOPs. First for daily, weekly and monthly maintenance procedure. Second SOP for calibration and quality control of analytes. Lastly, train the laboratory technician taking over responsibilities in Fall 2026 on laboratory operations, preventive maintenance and performing calibration and quality control orders on Abbott ARCHITECT analyzers using created SOPs.
