Additional ways to reduce RF interference is by diluting the specimen (RF, being a low affinity antibody, will be less active) and conducting reations at higher temperature. I missed the initial message, so I have no idea of the system involved. There are additional ways to counteract RF, but they depend on what one is trying to measure. Falk Fish, Tel-Aviv, Israel .
