Notes |
External users subject to service level aggreement. Contact laboratory for futher information. 17.04.15 Please note that due to the withdrawal of assay kits for 17OH Progesterone by our supplier (Siemens) the Biochemistry Department have introduced a new method for the measurement of this analyte. The new 17-OH method is made by DIA Source and will generate results approximately 50% lower than our previous assay for results >5nmol/L. However these results are aligned with the gold standard method, Tandem Mass Spectrometry, in EQA Schemes. |
