Abstract
Automated assay for qualitative determination of thyroid hormone binding capacity of a serum sample in which serum and T.sub.3 tracer are caused to flow through a chamber containing a T.sub.3 binder supported on a solid support. The amount of T.sub.3 tracer which passes through the chamber, and the amount of T.sub.3 tracer bound to the binder in the chamber are determined to thereby determine the percent of bound T.sub.3 tracer. Such percent is then compared with the percent of T.sub.3 tracer bound in a referenced sample to qualitatively determine the T.sub.3 binding capacity of the serum sample.
