Idexx VetTest - Advanced Operations and Dilution Protocols; Handling Out-of-Linearity Range Samples

E Advanced Operations
Out-of-Linearity Range Samples
Occasionally a test value may be outside the analyzer’s range capability. The test value
may be greater than (>) the linearity range, or interfering substances in the sample
may be causing a nonlinear or invalid result. See the following chart for linearity ranges
on individual chemistries. If a value is required, it will be necessary to dilute the sample
and repeat the test.
