| Issue: | The manufacturer has confirmed a negative bias of approximately -20% for results obtained with N Antiserum to Human Ceruloplasmin when calibrating with specific lots of N/T Protein Standard SL. N/T Protein Controls SL for ceruloplasmin are similarly biased. N Antiserum to Human Ceruloplasmin works as intended. A deviation in the value assignment of the affected standards and controls is leading to a lower result compared to correctly assigned standards. |
