A NEGATIVE general result indicates the absence of analyte (among the selected channels to test) in the sample, or a presence at a concentration lower than its limit of detection.

POSITIVE Result

A POSITIVE general result indicates the presence of at least one analyte (among the selected channels to test) in the sample at a concentration equal or higher to its limit of detection.

INVALID Result

An INVALID results can be obtained in case of :
• Wrong position of the biostick in the drawer
• Drawer opening too fast during an analysis
• Dirty optical window
• Wrong sample migration along the biostick
• Time and/or temperature of assay not respected
• Reagent dissolution not appropriate
• Milk sample not homogeneous (abnormal fat content, use of clotted milk, …)
• Default on the bisotick (dust, finger print, scratch…)
• Device damaged or wrong device calibration
