title: A fluorometric enzyme immunoassay for follitropin and lutropin.
abstract: The analytical performance of the Stratus (Baxter) automatic analyser for human lutropin and follitropin determination was evaluated and compared with that of an immunoradiometric assay. Within-run and between-run imprecision were lower than those of the immunoradiometric assay. No significant differences were obtained in the parallelism study. A good and significant correlation was obtained between both methods. Results obtained for both methods were not interchangeable. The Stratus automatic analyser can replace radioisotopic methods, thus eliminating radioactive hazards.
