The effects of endogenous substances have been characterized for each of the Abaxis analyte test meth-
ods and cut-off levels have been set for each. The result will be automatically suppressed, and in its

lists the concentration above which an analyte might be negatively affected.
Endogenous Substance Cut-off for Abaxis Analyte Test Methods
If the sample is identified as hemolytic, collect a new sample and run another reagent disc. Abaxis rec-
ommends that the new sample be separated into serum or plasma so that the degree of hemolysis can be
verified. If the new sample is hemolytic, use an alternative testing method or send the sample to a refer-
ence laboratory. Samples with hematocrit in excess of 60% packed red cell volume may appear on the
result card as
. Follow the instructions above for retesting hemolyzed samples.
