This certifies that the Atellica IM TSTII immunoassay’s test results are equivalent to high performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry, which is regarded as the gold‑standard analytical approach [1,2]. The Atellica IM TSTII assay, available on the Atellica IM and Atellica CI Analyzers, is the only fully automated immunoassay to achieve CDC HoSt-TT certification, which it has maintained continuously since 2019 [3]. An evaluation of the assay’s performance was recently published in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism.","length":800,"tagName":"p"},{"type":"text","content":"Testosterone is a key steroid hormone with essential roles in sexual development, reproductive function, musculoskeletal health, and bone metabolism.
