title: Evaluation of a second-generation thyrotropin automated immunoassay.
abstract: We evaluated the analytical performance of the Vista automated immunoassay system for human thyrotropin determination. The operating characteristics as well as the analytical performance were assessed. The Vista human thyrotropin immunoassay showed a minimal detection limit of 0.08 mU/l and a functional sensitivity of 0.12 mU/l. The system meets the criteria for second-generation human thyrotropin assays.
