Each concentration result may appear with a concentration result 'Flag'. The following table lists each possible concentration result flag and its description. The flags are listed in the order in which they are prioritized, from highest to lowest. If a sample concentration results in more than one error being flagged, the flag with the highest priority is displayed.
Error flags will be displayed on the Analysis page. However, if there is more than one flag related to a sample, only the flag of highest priority (as discussed above) will be displayed.
