A dialysis rate method for the measurement of free iodothyronine and steroid hormones in blood

Experientia. 1978 Apr 15;34(4):538-9. doi: 10.1007/BF01935978.

Abstract

From the dialysis rate of a small amount of tracer hormone from a serum sample through a semipermeable membrane towards an identical serum sample, the free hormone fraction can be calculated. This method is free from a number of artefacts that may occur in equilibrium dialysis.
