A recent urgent field safety notice arrived stating a reducded stability from 8 hrs to 6 hrs for serum and a reduced level biotin interference, from 368 nmol/L to 123 nmol/L. My question is how do we know who is on biotin and who measures biotin routinely?
Second question is why is it only beta crosslaps the only immunoassay affected?
Thanks
Gerry
