The measurement of insulin is a useful adjunct to the glucose tolerance test as an aid to the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus or prediabetic syndromes. Insulin measurements also essential for the differential diagnosis of insulinoma or other hypoglycemic states. We have evaluated the automated Insulin assay on the IMx instrument(Abbott Laos.), Our evaluation of the insulin test by MEIA was: 1. Within-run & Between-run precision of insulin expressed in coefficient of variation(C.V) were the range of 3.k30Al to 2.31% and 3.000/0 to 3.<J2%, respectively, 2. The comparison study for insulin indicated good correlation between MEIA(X) and RIA(Y), correlation efficient(r) was 0.95, regression with RIA(Y) was Y=1.0Z33 x X-1.1&34. Our conclusion is that insulin by MEIA method showed relatively good precision, easy to operate, fully automated and showed good correlation with RIA method.
