Specimens: 500 µl Serum (s)
Preanalytics/Notes:

Blood sampling in women from 2nd to 5th day of the menstrual cycle reasonable; due to pulsatile fluctuations of hormone release, preparing a pool serum is recommended:
Pool serum from 3 blood samplings at intervals of 20 min.  Patients receiving high doses of biotin (> 5 mg / day) should be sampled at least 8 hours after the last application, as high levels of biotin may interfere with the test system.
