    Abstract

    This very inexpensive method of estimating T3 uptake, already described (Walther, 1971), uses only 0·1 ml of patient's serum and discriminates between thyrotoxicosis and myxoedema much better than the resin sponge method. It can readily be mechanized and the `free thyroxine index' derived has normal limits of 3·0 to 8·0.
