Interference limits and instrument flags for lactate and glucose on the AU5800.
Bilirubin (icterus index, ICTI), haemoglobin (haemolysis index, HI) and intralipid (lipemia index, LIPI) interference limits and associated flags are taken from the manufacturer's instructions for use.

| Bilirubin (icterus) | No significant interference up to 137 μmol/L | 2+ |
| Haemoglobin (haemolysis) | No significant interference up to 5 g/L | 5+ |
| Intralipid (lipaemia) | No significant interference up to 10 g/L | 5+ |
| Glucose interference by HIL on Beckman Coulter AU5800 | ||
|---|---|---|
