CLINICAL APPLICATION
Hypothyroidism is among the most common endocrine disorders in dogs.
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone
(TSH) is synthesized by the pituitary gland under the negative
feedback of the thyroid hormones. High
TSH levels together with low total T4 can confirm hypothyroidism in
the majority of the cases. TSH can be
also added to the regular treatment follow-up of hypothyroid dogs.
n
PRINCIPLE
The Speed
TM
TSH assay is a rapid immunochromatographic quantitative test which
measures the
circulating TSH by laser-induced fluorescence analysis.

PRECAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
For use by veterinarians only
SAMPLE
- Use only SERUM OR PLASMA (Heparin-Li) samples. Do not use whole
blood or EDTA-treated samples.
- No significant interference has been seen for the following
molecules with concentrations up to:
Lipid = 20 g/L; Bilirubin 500 µmol/L; Hemoglobin 800 mg/L.
- If the test is not performed within an hour, transfer the serum or
plasma to a dry tube.
- Samples can be stored in a refrigerator (+2°C to +8°C) for up to 7
days.
- For testing beyond 7 days, the serum or plasma should be stored in a
freezer (-20°C).
- Stored samples should be allowed to reach room temperature (18°C to
27°C) and be centrifuged before
analysis.
- The presence of fibrin strands in the sample may lead to erroneous
assay results due to pipette clogging
and reduced volume of aspirated sample. In this case, recentrifuge the
sample.
PROPER PIPETTE USAGE
- Hold the pipette, the sample and reagent tubes vertically at all
times, to ensure the correct sampling
volume.
- Use a new disposable pipette tip for each test.
- Press and hold the pipette plunger and insert the tip into the
sample, being careful not to touch the
walls of the tube. Release the pipette plunger slowly while keeping
the end of the tip in the sample.
- Remove the pipette from the sample tub
