Intended Uses: This ELISA kit applies to the in vitro quantitative determination of T concentrations in serum, plasma, urine and saliva. Please contact tech-support for other sample type detection.
Principle of the Assay: This ELISA kit uses the Competitive-ELISA principle. The micro ELISA plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with T. During the reaction, T in the sample or standard competes with a fixed amount of T on the solid phase supporter for sites on the Biotinylated Detection Ab specific to T. Excess conjugate and unbound sample or standard are washed from the plate, and Avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) are added to each microplate well and incubated. Then a TMB substrate solution is added to each well. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of stop solution and the color change is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450 nm +/- 2 nm. The concentration of T in the samples is then determined by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve.
Background/Introduction: Testosterone is a hormone found in humans, as well as in other animals. The testicles primarily make testosterone in men. Women's ovaries also make testosterone, though in much smaller amounts. Testosterone production starts to increase significantly during puberty, and begins to dip after age 30 or so [1]. Testosterone is most often associated with sex drive, and plays a vital role in sperm production. But it also affects bone and muscle mass, the way men store fat in the body, and even red blood cell production. A man's testosterone levels can also affect his mood. Testosterone is used as a medication for the treatment of males with too little or no natural testosterone production, certain forms of breast cancer, and gender dysphoria in transgender men. This is known as hormone replacement therapy(HRT) or testosterone replacement therapy(TRT), which maintains serum testosterone levels in the normal range. Decline of testosterone production with age has led to interest in androgen replacement therapy [2].

Product Notes
The General T (Catalog #AAA2516160) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA2516160 ELISA Kit recognizes General T. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Testosterone, ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
