H = 0.7 is the figure we use. There is a problem if you have a track. The HIL will not be applied until after the folate result is available unless there is a c8000 of c16000 request as well. We get around this by having a dummy test SFHIL which adds a non reportable sodium request to any folate which does not already have a sodium. This allows the HIL to be done first. If you use a ci16200 or c18200 this is not necessary. Non - Architect users will not understand this so I apologise.

We've just switched over to Abbott serum folate from red cell folate and wonder at what Architect haemolysis index users are knocking out the SF value.
