Serum iron and total iron-binding capacity as measured radiometrically.

With the increasing availability of programmable calculators and minicomputers, it is desirable to demystify radioimmunoassay calculations, and make them available to laboratories lacking massive computing facilities. Recently I modified the Hewlett-Packard 67/97 logit-log radioimmunoassay program to include weighting (submitted to the HP Program Library). I provide here a description of this program for owners of minicomputers or programmable calculators who wish to program them to do logit-log RIA calculations. Needless to say, new programs should be tested to determined that they work in practice. 1. Enter the NSB (nonspecific binding, or “blank”) counts. In this program all replicate counts are averaged. The number of replicates is not predetermined, and two storage registers are required to obtain the average. Each count (B) i5 added to the contents
