[QUOTE="Cataceous, post: 220482, member: 38109"] I mean that because of their complexity these tests may require a lot of precise fiddling in order to be accurate. This introduces the possibility of errors and inaccurate results. I have found this to be true even with total estradiol tests. I do not rely on the sensitive estradiol test because for me it has been botched about a third of the time I've used it, returning results far removed from reality. No such problems with the standard test. The standard test is simply a few percent higher than the sensitive test when the latter is done right. As far as I know there is no such thing as a non-sensitive free estradiol test. I assume the concentrations involved are two low for immunoassay techniques. If it were reliably accurate and affordable I'd opt to know free estradiol over total estradiol. That would be more informative. Both LabCorp and Quest offer the test, e.g. the one mentioned above.
