Thanks for your query at HCM
In your case it seems that the serum/plasma which is mixed with the reagent for VDRL test was may be turbid, haemolyzed, chylous (too fatty) or contaminated. Therefore the test could not be performed further. Therefore it is advised that the test must be repeated again.
Follow-up for further query.
Take care!
