Abstract
A method for reducing the occurrence of falsely elevated results in a peroxidase-catalyzed, enzyme assay is described. Interference in an assay caused by blood or bood products in a clinical specimen is eliminated or reduced by reacting the specimen with an oxidizing agent such as sodium hypochlorite, hydrogen peroxide or sodium meta-periodate.
