The Androstenedione (ASD) ELISA Kit is a powerful tool for researchers looking to accurately measure levels of androstenedione in human samples such as serum, plasma, and cell culture supernatants. This kit offers high sensitivity and specificity, providing reliable and reproducible results for a variety of research applications.Androstenedione is a key steroid hormone involved in the production of testosterone and estrogen in both men and women. Imbalances in androstenedione levels have been linked to conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), adrenal disorders, and certain types of cancer.
By accurately measuring androstenedione levels, researchers can better understand these conditions and potentially develop targeted therapies.Overall, the Androstenedione (ASD) ELISA Kit is a valuable tool for any researcher studying the role of androstenedione in hormone regulation, reproductive health, and various disease states.

Linearity:
The linearity of the kit was assayed by testing samples spiked with appropriate concentration of the index and their serial dilutions. The results were demonstrated by the percentage of calculated concentration to the expected.

Intra-assay Precision:
Intra-Assay: CV <10%. 3 samples with low, middle and high level the index were tested 20 times on one plate, respectively.
Inter-assay Precision:
Inter-Assay: CV <12%. 3 samples with low, middle and high level the index were tested on 3 different plates, 8 replicates in each plate.
Stability:
The stability of ELISA kit is determined by the loss rate of activity. The loss rate of this kit is less than 5% within the expiration date under appropriate storage condition. Note:To minimize unnecessary influences on the performance, operation procedures and lab conditions, especially room temperature, air humidity, and incubator temperatures should be strictly regulated. It is also strongly suggested that the whole assay is performed by the same experimenter from the beginning to the end.
