Architect Testosterone assay(Abbott) 2nd Generation receives CE Mark

Abbott has received CE Marking (Conformite Europeenne) for a testosterone assay with improved sensitivity and clinical utility. With a simple blood test, the ARCHITECT 2nd Generation Testosterone Assay can accurately measure the wide range of testosterone levels seen in a number of different patient populations and clinical settings.Testosterone assays play an important role in the diagnosis and management of many medical conditions in men, women, and children. However, published studies have shown that many currently available testosterone assays are not sensitive enough to measure low levels of testosterone. This limits the clinical utility of these assays and can result in suboptimal patient care.
