Claims17
A method of measuring carcinoembryonic antigen in a biological sample, the method comprising:
- diluting the biological sample with a diluent at a ratio of biological sample to diluent of about 1:10 to about 1:50 to form a diluted biological sample;
- measuring the amylase level of the diluted biological sample;
- measuring carcinoembryonic antigen level in the diluted biological sample;
- and multiplying the carcinoembryonic antigen level by a correction factor to obtain a corrected carcinoembryonic antigen level when the amylase level in the diluted samples is above about 10,000 units.
