    (b) If a sample is diluted for testing, the measurement uncertainty is multiplied by the factor of dilution.
    (c) Measurements of uncertainty are not established for the testing of specimens in which the identification of a substance, analyte, or corresponding metabolite or marker at or above the lowest level of detection is sufficient to constitute a violation.
