Abstract
We tested a new immuno-enzymatic kit: FT3-EIA BioMerieux, for direct m easurement of FT3. Precision is good, with coefficients of variation b elow 10%. Detection limit is 0.4 pmol/l. We tested some anticoagulants and the specificity of the antibody. Results appear to be independent of plasmatic concentration of albumine and TBG. Reference range was d etermined to be 3.7 to 8.7 pmol/l. A clinical study, in comparison wit h isotopic method FT3-Coat-RIA BioMerieux shows that this non-isotopic kit is available, even for low concentrations.
