Screen Shots and Features Tour of PK Solutions

  Test Data

• The Test Data sheet display the results of seven PK Solutions analyses of data taken from the literature. Three of these are shown in the screen shot. The runs include "oral" and intravenous data sets with two to three exponential terms.
• The Test Data page serves three important functions:

Validation. Concentration-time values were taken from the literature reference cited. PK Solutions was run to compute the results indicated. The results can be compared with those presented in the literature, which are highlighted in bold red type. In all cases, the literature results validate the results obtained by PK Solutions within reasonable error.

Verification. The record of results obtained with prior runs can be used to verify the continuing reliability and accuracy of subsequent runs. This verification record is useful as a quality control measure to test PK Solutions on a maintenance schedule, as well as for performance between computers, operating systems, and versions of Microsoft Excel.

Training. The 7 data sets encompass and illustrate the most likely range of plasma level curves likely to be encountered. Below each data set is a button that moves the data set to the Data Setup sheet. Users can thus run through each or any of the seven test sets, comparing their Data Analysis sheet settings and final outcomes with those of the test data.
