title: Practical aspects of quality control for radioimmunoassays.
abstract: Mechanisms for the quality control of radioimmunoassays are described. They are useful in monitoring the possible sources of error which cause medically invalid results: errors in the radioimmunoassay system itself, in the test environment, in the instrumentation, and in the specimen quality. The application of a total control program permits early detection of malfunctions and can be used for the logical assessment of probable causes and solutions.
