The interference in a lipemic sample results from the presence of excessive ______, which results in ______ of incident light in colorimetric assays.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lipemia causes interference by the presence of excessive lipoproteins, which produce turbidity in the specimen for analysis.Turbidity interferes with colorimetric measurements by scattering incident light.This scatter of incident light out of the light path will be read as absorbance by the detector, resulting in falsely elevated results.
