title: [Particle enhanced immunoturbidimetic assay of high sensitive C-reactive protein].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate the particle enhanced immunoturbidimetic assay of high sensitive C-reactive protein by the automated chemistry analyzer (Hitachi 7170A).
  
  
  METHODS
  The detection limit of quantification, measurement range, precision, interference and reference interval were assessed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The measurement range of the method was from 0.125 to 12.5 mg/L. The detection limitation was 0.115 mg/L. The internal and external accuracy were 0.89% and 0.90% respectively. The reference range of the assay was from 0.20 mg/L to 2.60 mg/L.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The particle enhanced immunoturbidimetic assay is sensitive and stable, and can be used in clinical diagnosis.
