The present invention provides a method for ensuring the quality of a sample carrier in connection with performing an analysis of a sample in the sample carrier in an analysis instrument for in vitro diagnosis, wherein the sample carrier is provided with a symbol for confirming the compatibility of the sample carrier with the analysis instrument. The method comprises bringing the sample carrier to an imaging position in the analysis instrument, acquiring an image of the sample carrier, and analysing the acquired image to detect the presence of a symbol for identifying the genuineness of the sample carrier. Where the sample carrier is identified as genuine, the sample carrier is approved for use in the analysis instrument and the analysis instrument is enabled to perform an analysis of the sample in the sample carrier. The analysis comprises irradiating the sample by transmitting electromagnetic radiation through the sample carrier.

La présente invention concerne un procédé pour garantir la qualité d'un porte-échantillon tout en réalisant une analyse d'un échantillon disposé dans le porte-échantillon, dans un instrument d'analyse pour diagnostic in vitro, le porte-échantillon servant de symbole pour confirmer la compatibilité du porte-échantillon avec l'instrument d'analyse. Le procédé consiste à mettre le porte-échantillon dans une position de formation d'image dans l'instrument d'analyse ; à acquérir une image du porte-échantillon ; et à analyser l'image acquise pour détecter la présence d'un symbole afin d'identifier l'authenticité du porte-échantillon. Lorsque le porte-échantillon est identifié comme authentique, son utilisation dans l'instrument d'analyse est approuvée et on permet à l'instrument d'analyse de réaliser une analyse de l'échantillon dans le porte-échantillon. L'analyse comprend l'exposition de l'échantillon à un rayonnement électromagnétique qui traverse le prote-échantillon.
