developed with the purpose of enabling the measurement of total bilirubin in serum
of neonate while compensating for hemolysis, turbidity, and other components of

there is a high-density specimen or a high level of obstruction that falls outside the
tolerance.

proper sample volume to be inspected. Only simple action is required to set the
capillary tube into the holder.
