Abstract
Kits and methods for qualifying automated biological screening system. At least one biological specimen having a plurality of marked target zones (MTZs) exhibiting an attribute is provided. The biological specimen(s) is processed through the automated biological screening system to determine locations of biological objects suspected of exhibiting the attribute. The locations of the MTZs can be compared to the locations of the suspicious biological objects in order to determine a number of matches. The automated biological screening system can then be qualified based on the number of matches, and optionally based on statistical information related to the biological specimen. The statistical information can be acquired by processing the biological specimen through a qualified automated biological screening system over a number of runs.
