I received complains from physicians that our results of Vit B12 are too

low (Controls from Abbott were within expected values).  I analyzed
specimens from hospital employees and I had 10%
deficient, and 15% indeterminate.  I sent the specimens to  another
laboratory for Vit B12 using ACS 180 and the resultst were very
different (all of them were normal)
Axsym        ACS
116.1            280.3 (pmol/L)
66.8              188.5

The reference values from both laboratories are similar
Normal  > 148
Indeterminate    116 - 155
Deficient    < 116

Any suggestions??
Thank you
