✅ Introducing Application Protocols

Congratulations, you’ve completed the core Installation and Setup steps🔗—from connecting and localising your Delvotest® Accelerator Smart (DAS), through verifying temperature accuracy and performing initial calibrations. You’re now almost ready to run your first test! However, before you begin, there’s one crucial aspect left to address: ensuring that you’re fully prepared to use Delvotest® plates correctly and consistently.

Whether you’re entirely new to Delvotest® or have been using it for some time, establishing a standardised, well-structured approach to preparing plates is essential. Not only does this help you achieve accurate, reliable results right from your first test, it also sets the stage for smooth daily operations and reliable long-term outcomes.

At this point, your main focus is to familiarise yourself with the fundamental principles of plate preparation and handling. Once you’ve completed your first test and grown comfortable with the process, we’ll revisit the concept of application protocols. At that time, we’ll encourage you to develop and implement a tailored local application protocol—one that reflects your lab’s unique workflows and leverages insights from the Application Protocol Help Centre series🔗.

Next Steps

In the next article, we’ll introduce the Application Protocol Help Centre series🔗, where you’ll find practical guidance, best practices, and reference materials to help you confidently prepare Delvotest® plates, minimise variability, and enhance consistency in your testing procedures.
