ABSTRACT:
A reagent for use in immunoassays for rheumatoid factor (RF) is provided. The reagent contains heparin. Use of this reagent suppresses interference from the component Glq found in some test samples, and alleviates the need for a heat inactivation pretreatment of test samples to eliminate Clq interference.
