Since the afinions are interfaced to RALS and we have the operators built in RALS, the analyzer should prevent anyone trying to scan in their badge if they aren't built in RALS. What we don't
want is someone trying to get around using their badge and manually entering in a user ID of...

Ketone and Beta-Hydroxybutyrate Testing

What platforms are you currently using for waived Ketone or Beta-Hydroxybutyrate testing? I have a clinic interested in adding this testing, and I'm looking to gather some insights on what options others have found reliable and easy to implement.
