Analyte | Sensitivity (Lower Limit of Detection, LLOD) | Specificity (Cross-reactivity) |
---|---|---|
TSH |  ~ 0.005 µIU/mL | No significant cross-reactivity with FSH, LH, hCG |
Free T4 |  ~ 0.3 pmol/L | Minimal interference with binding proteins |
Total T3 |  ~ 0.3 nmol/L |  < 1% cross-reactivity with T4 |
LH/FSH |  ~ 0.1 IU/L | LH assay specificity: < 0.1% with hCG/FSH |
Testosterone |  ~ 0.025 nmol/L (males) | High specificity for testosterone (low DHT cross-reactivity) |
