The calibration and qc were acceptable.A general reagent issue was excluded.The field service representative found many serum separator tubes where the gel components and the clotted blood have mixed with the serum, which might lead to an incorrect result for the sample.The investigation determined the issue was caused by a pre-analytical handling issue.
