| Issue: | In some urine samples the concentration of adrenaline/epinephrine may decrease when analysis time is >8 hours. This decrease in concentration occurs only, if samples were subsequently adjusted to pH 5 to pH 7 as described in the instruction for use for very acidic samples or samples with low 24-volumes. There is a risk of false negative result being reported when samples experience these conditions. |
