141
Q

can interfere with measured analytes and chemical interactions.

A

LIPEMIC SAMPLE

142
Q

This is especially important in electrophoretic methods.

A

LIPEMIC SAMPLE

143
Q

can also non-specifically interfere in various immunoassays.

A

LIPEMIC SAMPLE

144
Q

can interfere with antigen- antibody reaction by blocking binding sites on antibodies.

A

LIPEMIC SAMPLE

145
Q

This can happen even when antibodies are bound to a solid surface.

A

LIPEMIC SAMPLE

146
Q

Depending on the nature of the reaction, the interference can cause both, falsely elevated of falsely decreased result.

A

LIPEMIC SAMPLE

147
Q

in serologic tests, some procedures require the use of

A

inactivated serum

148
Q

Since Inactivation is the process that destroys complement activity, complement is known to interfere with the reactions certain syphilis tests and complement components.

A

inactivated serum

149
Q

It can agglutinate latex particles and cause a false positive reaction in latex passive agglutination assays.

A
