Normal Control Solution.
Hematocrit: Extremes in
whole blood hematocrits
(above 60%) or very low
hematocrits (below 25%) can
cause inaccurately low results.
Reducing substances, such as
ascorbic acid, do not signifi-
cantly affect blood glucose
results when occurring in
normal blood concentrations.
However, abnormally high
concentrations of reducing
substances in blood will cause
inaccurately low blood
glucose results.
Do not use samples with
preservatives that contain
fluoride (gray-top test tubes).
