Linearity of CRP determination at a high (a) and low concentration range (b). (a) Linearity under dilution for measurement of a canine serum sample originally containing 281.3 mg/l CRP. A serial dilution was performed to achieve 8 different CRP concentrations, i.e., 1.0, 0.8, 0.6, 0.4, 0.2, 0.1, 0.05, 0.025 parts of the original concentration (b) Linearity range of CRP determination for a canine serum sample containing 66.5 mg/l CRP. A serial dilution was performed to achieve 9 different CRP concentrations i.e., 1.0, 0.8, 0.6, 0.4, 0.2, 0.1, 0.05, 0.025, 0.0125 parts of the original concentration
