| Issue: | Beckman Coulter has confirmed that N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) used in the treatment of acetaminophen overdose may cause assay interference when administered in therapeutic concentrations. The anti-oxidant properties of NAC can interfere with assays employing the Trinder chemical pathways. The degree of NAC interference has been demonstrated to vary depending on the analyte. Of the Trinder chemical pathway assays, only Enzymatic Creatinine (CR-E) and Uric Acid (URIC) are affected. |
