High-sensitive detection and quantitation of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) from capillary/fingerstick and venepuncture whole-blood using fluorescence-based rapid lateral flow i... by Samar, Shurbaji

“…Methods102 fingerstick, venepuncture whole-blood, and serum samples (with normal and abnormal TSH values) were analyzed by Finecare™ Rapid Quantitative LFIA test and Roche cobas® e 601 as a reference test. ResultsUsing serum, when compared to cobas® e 601 reference method, Finecare™ showed high sensitivity [90.5 % (69.6–98.8)] and specificity [96.3 % (89.6–99.2)] for diagnosis of thyroid abnormalities (<0.35 or >4.5 mIU/L). …”
