title: Solid-phase radioimmunoassay for norethisterone.
abstract: Exposure of polystyrene tubes to solutions of glutaraldehyde was shown to provide a stable and consistent surface for immobilising an unpurified norethisterone-specific antiserum. Properties of the solid-phase antiserum were evaluated with respect to its application in developing a solid-phase radioimmunoassay for norethisterone. The assay proved to be sufficiently accurate, precise and sensitive for routine use. The technology is considered to be suited to automation.
