Testosterone, the major androgenic hormone in humans, is commonly measured to aid in the diagnosis of clinical conditions related to its excess or deficiency. In addition, testosterone measurements are used to monitor testosterone replacement-, or antiandrogen therapy. Most commonly, automated direct immunoassays have been used to measure testosterone in human serum. Their advantage compared with other methodologies, lies in high- and rapid sample throughput with minimal human intervention. However, many automated testosterone immunoassays suffer from poor accuracy at the low concentration levels (
