ACCURACY
Recovery Study
The PTH-MM II kit demonstrates recovery of known amounts of analyte added.
Recovery values averaged 109.5% ± 14.4% (n = 12).

15.3 Analytical Sensitivity
When defined as the apparent concentration at 2 standard deviations from the counts
at maximum binding, the minimum detectable amount is 9.8 pmol/L.
15.4 Analytical Specificity
Comparison of the cross-reactivity of PTH-MM antibody was made with the following
reference preparations:
Reference Preparation
PTH-MM II Calibrator (hPTH 44-68)
hPTH 1-34
hPTH 65-84
hPTH 1-84
hPTH 39-84
Human PTH values then are reflected most satisfactorily by the synthetic mid-molecule
calibrator and there is good linearity of the hPTH 1-84 with the synthetic mid-molecule
calibrator.
