FSH Test Kits
FSH Test Kits include strips, cassettes and midstreams.
Follicle-stimulating hormone is a glycoprotein produced by the anterior pituitary gland. It plays a central role in reproductive processes. A FSH molecule contains two non-covalently linked subunits: a common subunit designated α and a hormone specific subunit designated β.
One Step FSH Test Cassette detects FSH concentrations of 25 mIU/ml and higher. A test device is a test membrane with anti-FSH antibodies and conjugates in a stabilizing matrix containing proteins and sodium azide.
Performance characteristics
Sensitivity: One Step FSH Test Midstream detects FSH concentration of 25 mIU/ml and greater. The test has been standardized to the World Health Organization Third International Standard.
Specificity: The addition of LH (300 mIU/ml), and TSH ( 1000 mIU/ml) to negative (0 mIU/ml FSH) and positive (25 mIU/ml FSH) specimens showed no cross-reactivity.

1. Read directions for use carefully before performing this test.
2. Do not use beyond the labeled expiration date.
3. The test device should remain in the sealed pouch until use. Do not use if pouch is damaged or opened.
