Evaluation of the analytical performance of a point‐of‐care analyzer for the measurement of feline serum thyroxine concentration in comparison with a chemiluminescence enzyme immunoassay
The analytical performance of the POCA was excellent, as was its correlation with the reference method. Except for the interferent effect of hemoglobin, the TE<sub>obs</sub> was <TE<sub>a</sub> for all analyses. Analysis of severely hemolytic samples is not advised. However, the relatively small dynamic range of the POCA precludes quantitative analysis of samples with TT4 >8 μg/dL, and de novo reference intervals need to be established.
