The method described in the scenario is the **Fixed Kinetics method**.<br /><br />In this method, the reaction between the sample and the reagent is allowed to proceed for a fixed period of time, after which the reaction is stopped and the product is measured. The reaction is typically stopped by adding a stopping agent, such as an acid or a base, which halts the reaction and stabilizes the product. The product is then measured after a specific time interval, which is predetermined based on the reaction kinetics.<br /><br />In the scenario, the laboratory technologist noticed that some analyses were measured after mixing the sample with appropriate reagents and then incubating for a few minutes. The final product was stable for a few minutes and then deteriorated. This indicates that the reaction was allowed to proceed for a fixed period of time, after which the reaction was stopped and the product was measured. Therefore, the method described is the Fixed Kinetics method.
