A blood specimen is obtained from an individual who is known to have elevated lipids and the serum appears milky.This individual's physician has ordered an estrogen immunoassay that your laboratory performs using a nephelometric technique.Which one of the following statements is correct concerning the possible outcome of this assay?
A) Certain components of this individual's sample will likely produce excess fluorescence by the phenomenon called "solvent effect" in the nephelometric assay.
B) The lipemic specimen will produce interfering background light intensity and excess light scatter in this type of assay.
C) The sample flow rate will be affected through the analyzer's nebulizer because of the altered density of the sample.
D) Elevated serum lipids will not interfere with this assay because nephelometry is not affected by any type of sample variability.
