Objective: Evaluation of a new fully automated antibody conjugated magnetic immunoassay (ACMIA) for whole blood cyclosporin (CsA) monitoring. Method: Evaluation of the analytical performance of the ACMIA method and comparison to the Enzyme Multiplied Immunoassay (EMIT) method. Results: The analytical performance of the ACMIA and the EMIT methods was comparable. Without the need of a pretreatment step of the sample, the ACMIA method is faster than the EMIT method. Conclusion: The ACMIA method for CsA monitoring is a good alternative to the EMIT method.
