Abstract
Five commercial RIA kits designed to measure human insulin concentrati ons were compared for their ability to measure feline insulin. Kit eva luation included dilutional parallelism for specificity, sensitivity a nd intra- and interassay precision. Three kits (RSL, Diagnostic Produc ts and Pharmacia) performed well and can be recommended for use in cat s. Two kits (Corning and Amersham) had poor specificity and precision and are not suitable for use in cats.
