Abstract: Method and apparatus are provided for determining the validity and maximizing the accuracy of analytical results provided by automated sample analysis apparatus which operate in accordance with ideal operational characteristics and wherein the analytical results are provided in the form of a series of data outputs for each sample analysis and comprise the constant monitoring of the data outputs produced by the apparatus upon the analysis of a sample, the comparison of the thusly monitored data outputs to determine the variations therebetween, the comparison of variations with said ideal operational characteristics of said apparatus so as to verify the validity of the thusly monitored data outputs, and the selection and outputting as the sample analysis results in accordance with said comparisons of those of said data outputs which are most analytically correct to thus maximize the accuracy of said results.
