  2. Quality Control Items • Daily NIR check sample • Instrument Duplicates • Equipment Check and Periodic Check of other instruments

  3. Daily NIR Check Sample

  4. Objectives • to maintain the performance of the instruments • to make sure that the instruments are stable • to collect data as a part of NIRS research

  5. Materials • Grain corn (20030149) • Grain soybeans (20030688) • Thermometer • Infratec 1225, 0065 • Infratec 1229, 243108 • Infratec 1229, 553075 • Infratec 1229, 553792 • Infratec 1241, 12410350 • NIR System 6500, 3117 • Perten DA 7200, 020102

  6. Continue • Perten 9100, 3170 • Omega G, 106118 • Omega AC, 301002 • Omega G, 6110 • Omega S, 201101 • Zeltex 800,16125 • Zeltex 800,16131 • Zeltex 800,16179

  7. Procedures • Follow the procedures of every instrument (each instrument has slightly different procedures) • Collect and record the data in the book and spreadsheet • Build the control chart • Make a 20 point moving average trend line • Samples are changed periodically • Data log is used to record other events

  8. Control Charts • Calculate mean, upper control limit and lower control limit. • Upper and lower control limits were set according to this formula:

  9. Data and Results • The result summary • \\Grainbin\QCData\QC Daily Check\Daily Check Summary • The data and the control charts for each instrument • \\Grainbin\QCData\QC Daily Check\qc IT1225 0065 • \\Grainbin\QCData\QC Daily Check\qc IT1229 243108 • \\Grainbin\QCData\QC Daily Check\qc IT1229 553075 • \\Grainbin\QCData\QC Daily Check\qc IT1241 12410350 • \\Grainbin\QCData\QC Daily Check\qc NIRSystem 6500 3117 • \\Grainbin\QCData\QC Daily Check\qc Omega AC 31002 • \\Grainbin\QCData\QC Daily Check\qc Omega G 106118 • \\Grainbin\QCData\QC Daily Check\qc Omega G 6110 • \\Grainbin\QCData\QC Daily Check\qc Omega S 201101 • \\Grainbin\QCData\QC Daily Check\qc Perten 9100 3170 • \\Grainbin\QCData\QC Daily Check\qc Perten DA 7200 020102 • \\Grainbin\QCData\QC Daily Check\qc ZX800 16125 • \\Grainbin\QCData\QC Daily Check\qc ZX800 16131 • \\Grainbin\QCData\QC Daily Check\qc ZX800 16179

  10. Daily Check Summary (Infratec 1229 553075)

  11. Example

  12. Example

  13. Example

  14. Conclusion • When the sample is used in short period, the collected data will be more accurate and easy to be analyzed • From the control chart, some instruments have out of control data. These do not mean that the instruments are not stable. These may be caused by: • Using the wrong sample • Using the wrong calibration ID • Inadequate grain • Untrained operators

  15. Instrument Duplicates

  16. Objective • to measure reproducibility over time and samples of the instruments that are used for service

  17. Materials • Corn grain from variety sources • Soybeans grain from variety sources • Infratec 1225, 0065 • Infratec 1229, 243108 • Infratec 1229, 553075 • Infratec 1241, 12410350 • Grainspec 5174 (through 2003)

  18. Procedures • Prepare the samples • Set up instrument that will be used • Set up data files • Run the samples twice for every tenth sample, record the sample number and source • Save the files • Build the control chart for every instrument

  19. Control Charts • Control charts are built for differences between first and second measurement • Calculate mean, UCL and LCL for the differences • Upper and lower control limits were set according to this formula:

  20. Data and Results • The result summary • \\Grainbin/QCData/duplicate summary/QC Duplicate Summary • The data and the control charts • \\Grainbin/QCData/duplicate summary/2000/Corn/Duplicate Corn 2000 • \\Grainbin/QCData/duplicate summary/2000/Soybeans/Duplicate Soybeans 2000 • \\Grainbin/QCData/duplicate summary/2001/Corn/Duplicate Corn 2001 • \\Grainbin/QCData/duplicate summary/2001/Soybeans/Duplicate Soybeans 2001 • \\Grainbin/QCData/duplicate summary/2002/Corn/Duplicate Corn 2002 • \\Grainbin/QCData/duplicate summary/2002/Soybeans/Duplicate Soybeans 2002 • \\Grainbin/QCData/duplicate summary/2003/Corn/Duplicate Corn 2003 • \\Grainbin/QCData/duplicate summary/2003/Soybeans/Duplicate Soybeans 2003

  21. Duplicate Summary (Infratec 1229 553075, Soybeans)

  22. Continue

  23. Example

  24. Example

  25. Conclusion • The precision of the instrument will decrease when it is often used for service • Reproducibility make variation in the measurement, specially when the instrument is used for many samples

  26. Equipment Check and Periodic Check of Other Instruments

  27. Objective • To demonstrate that all equipment qualifies to be used to support research and service

  28. Materials

  29. Continue

  30. Procedures • Prepare the materials that will be used • Read and follow the procedures of every instrument/equipment • Record the result in the Lab Q/C book and spreadsheet • Build an appropriate chart

  44. Conclusion

  45. Conclusion

  46. Future Works • Make sure that every instrument/equipment in the lab has a right procedure, improve the procedure as needed • Set the tolerance for each item of quality control • Decide what action should be taken if data is out of tolerance
