Oral biotin supplementation is known to interfere with biotin-streptavidin-based immunoassays, including Roche's fifth-generation cardiac troponin T (cTnT) assay, which plays a critical role in the diagnosis of myocardial infarction (MI). The utility of dilution, a quick and easy method to detect and remove interferences, has not been published for biotin interference.
