We have also found that changing from DPC C-A-C testosterone to Architect gave increased results for some female samples. We considered trying other automated methods, but from what has been said here most suffer this problem to some degree and extraction is the answer. I would welcome suggestions for suitable extraction procedures for low level testosterone samples prior to assay on the Architect in a department with depleted means of performing real chemistry
