A sensitive sandwich enzyme immunoassay of human thyroid-stimulating hormone (hTSH) in dried blood on filter paper discs is described for mass-screening of hypothyroidism in the neonates. One 3 mm filter paper disc per assay, on which 2.7 PI of neonatal blood had been dried, was incubated in buffer
