Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics has developed a fully automated Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) immunoassay for testing plasma or serum samples on the ADVIA Centaur platform. A free Prostate Specific Antigen (fPSA) assay for use on the ADVIA Centaur and ADVIA Centaur XP systems is also newly available. The SHBG assay completes the fertility panel on the ADVIA Centaur family of analysers to offer a comprehensive range of testing capabilities. It provides accurate results in the evaluation of androgen disorders including
virilisation, hirsutism and polycystic ovary syndrome and enables the determination of the Free Androgen Index by automatically calculating the ratio of testosterone to SHBG. The assay has a short time to first result, sound compatibility with WHO standard 95/560 and excellent within-run and between-run precision.
