We evaluated the technical performance of two new commercial automated immunoassay systems of third-generation assays for thyrotropin. The interassay CV was 2.8% for AutoDELFIA and 3.25% for Access at thyrotropin concentrations of approximately 1.3 mIU/l. The lower detection limits of the assays were 0.023 mIU/l for AutoDELFIA and 0.0096 mIU/l for Access, and the functional sensitivity for a CV of 20% was 0.027 mIU/l and 0.028 mIU/l, respectively. Sample to sample carry over was negligible (0.0016% for AutoDELFIA and 0.005% for Access). The range of linearity was acceptable for Access (102-115%) but not for low thyrotropin concentrations in AutoDELFIA (143% for a thyrotropin value of 0.48 mIU/l). Correlation between AutoDELFIA and Access was adequate (r = 0.999). We conclude that both automated immunoassays offer good reliability, practicability and performance characteristics.

D013972 Thyrotropin A glycoprotein hormone secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR). Thyrotropin stimulates THYROID GLAND by increasing the iodide transport, synthesis and release of thyroid hormones (THYROXINE and TRIIODOTHYRONINE). Thyrotropin consists of two noncovalently linked subunits, alpha and beta. Within a species, the alpha subunit is common in the pituitary glycoprotein hormones (TSH; LUTEINIZING HORMONE and FSH), but the beta subunit is unique and confers its biological specificity.

D015203 Reproducibility of Results The statistical reproducibility of measurements (often in a clinical context), including the testing of instrumentation or techniques to obtain reproducible results. The concept includes reproducibility of physiological measurements, which may be used to develop rules to assess probability or prognosis, or response to a stimulus; reproducibility of occurrence of a condition; and reproducibility of experimental results.
