Radioimmunoassay Kit Evaluation in the Busy Nuclear Medicine Laboratory

Abstract

With the constant influx of new radioassay kits appearing on the market, the nuclear medicine technologist is continually evaluating products to be incorporated as a routine procedure in that laboratory. Although elaborate procedures exist for extensive evaluation of kits, the average nuclear medicine laboratory lacks time and personnel to perform in-depth investigative studies. This article proposes an organized, time-saving, and reliable approach to kit evaluation, adaptable to a busy clinical nuclear medicine department.
