Free thyroxine (FT4) quantification is continuing to be a concern. The purpose of the following study was to evaluate the analytical performance of Tosoh AIA900 based on a one-step technique and its comparison to Access 2 (two-step technique) over different clinical contexts (euthyroid, thyroid disorders, uncontrolled diabetes, renal failure and pregnancy). The protocol established by the French society of Clinical Biology was used to evaluate: imprecision, limit of detection, trueness, linearity, interferences and method comparisons.

In this paper we report an assessment of the analytical performances of Capillarys 2 Flex Piercing (C2FP) for HbA measurement using CE (Capillary Electrophoresis). CLSI (Clinical and Laboratory Standard Institute) protocols are used for the evaluation of apparatus performances: precision, linearity, method comparison, trueness and common interferences.
