Female Hormone Blood Test Clinic – £200

Scientific Data from the Hormone Instrument and Reagent Supplier

Technology Method:

Fluorescence quantitative immunoassay

Limit of Detection:

• FSH: 1 mIU/mL.
• Oestradiol: 9 pg/mL.
• Prolactin: 1 ng/mL.
• Luteinising: 1 mIU/mL

Accuracy and Precision:

The relative standard deviation is ≤ 15%. The within-assay CV is ≤ 15% and the between-assay CV is ≤ 15%.

Measuring Ranges:

• FSH: 1~100 mIU/mL
• Oestradiol: 9~3000 ng/mL.
• Prolactin: 1~200 ng/mL.
• Luteinising: 1~100 mIU/mL.

Validation-Active Information:

• EQA: Yes
• Inter-laboratory validations
  • Periodic according to the validation schedule
  • Event-triggered- QC/Calibration/New materials/Batch

Accuracy/Precision:

The accuracy of these tests is based on the relative deviation. The relative deviation is the average deviation from the actual result value.

The precision relies on the within-assay coefficient of variations and the between-assay coefficient. The within-assay coefficient of variations is the variance of the result value if the same sample is analysed again. The between-assay coefficient is the variance of the result value if the same sample is reprocessed from the beginning again.
