  • Reason
    It has been confirmed that the referenced lot contains an erroneous enzyme conjugate. this drawback can be easily identifiable, since the enzyme-erroneous conjugate is red, instead of blue. the wrong enzyme conjugate can give rise to high false results (values> 11 u). if results above the threshold value are presented (values> 11 u), these must be confirmed with a reference method.
