It means our labs were unable to process these tests. This could be due to several reasons such as follows:

  1. Haemolysis. This is when your red blood cells burst. You may have squeezed too hard when collecting the sample.
  2. Clotting. If you took too long to collect the sample or did not invert the tube after the collection, the blood may clot. This makes it unprocessable.
  3. Small sample. You may not have collected enough blood.
  4. Incorrectly labeled sample
