Dimension® Product: LOCI 1 Calibrator Catalog Number: KC660

Traceability Statement:
Values assigned to the Dimension Vista® LOCI 1 Calibrator (KC660) for the FT3 (Free triiodothyronine)
method are traceable to United States Pharmacopeia grade 3,3´,5-Triiodo-L-thyronine (T3).

Reference Material: Master Pool (consensus values)

Uncertainty Estimate:
The total expanded uncertainty is the sum of the uncertainty in the material used to manufacture the
working calibrators, the uncertainty of the gravimetric and volumetric processes and the variability of the
value assignment processes used to assign the product calibrators. The estimated uncertainties are
listed in the table below.

Level 6ED080 Calibrator Value ( pg/mL)* Calibrator Uncertainty (%) **

A 0.000 NA
B 2.02 2.31
C 4.07 2.16
D 8.00 2.20
E 15.90 2.19
F 33.20 2.24

* Approximate value (Lot 6ED080), actual value varies from lot-to-lot

** Expressed using Coverage Factor (k) = 2

Reference Method: None Available
