Human Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) ELISA Kit
The Human Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) ELISA Kit is a highly sensitive and specific assay designed for the accurate measurement of SHBG levels in human serum, plasma, and cell culture supernatants. This kit provides reliable and reproducible results, making it an essential tool for research in various fields. SHBG is a key protein that binds to sex hormones such as testosterone and estradiol, regulating their bioavailability and influencing their physiological effects. Changes in SHBG levels have been linked to several health conditions including hormone-related disorders, metabolic syndrome, and reproductive issues.
With the ability to precisely quantify SHBG levels, this ELISA kit is valuable for investigating the role of SHBG in health and disease, as well as for monitoring the effects of hormone therapies and treatments. Researchers and healthcare professionals can rely on this kit for accurate and consistent measurements, facilitating advancements in the understanding and management of hormonal imbalances and related conditions.

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 conditions. 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.
