  ABSTRACT: Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) assay is considered a decisive diagnostic method for thyroid disorders. The lack of different TSH immunoassay standardization often leads to misdiagnosis of subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH). This study aims to differentiate between two analytical platforms for TSH measurement, namely Abbott Laboratories and Snibe Diagnostics. This study employed 173 thyroid profile samples to detect SCH. Initially, the sample was run on Abbott and then by Snibe immunoassay. Statistical analysis showed a significant difference of 0.87 mIU/L (P
