INTENDED USE
The kit is used for qualitative detection of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels in urine samples. It is suitable for assisting determination the appearance of female menopause.PACKAGE SIZE
1 kit /box, 10 kits /box, 25 kits,/box, 50 kits /box.SUMMARY
FSH is a glycoprotein hormone secreted by the pituitary gland, it can enter blood and urine through blood circulation. For male, FSH promotes maturity of testicular seminiferous tubule and the production of sperm, for female, FSH promotes follicular development and maturity, and collaborates LH to mature follicles secrete estrogen and ovulation, involved in the formation of normal menstruation[1]. FSH maintains a consistently stable basal level in normal subjects, about 5-20mIU/mL. Female menopause typically occurs between the ages of 49 and 54, and lasts for an average of four to five years. During this period, because of ovarian atrophy, follicular atresia and degeneration, estrogen secretion decreased significantly, a large number of stimulating pituitary gonadotropin secretion, especially FSH levels will be significantly increased, is generally 40-200mIU/ml, and maintain the level in a very long time[2]. This kit based on colloidal gold immune chromatography analysis technology for qualitative detection of FSH antigen in human urine samples, which can give a result within 15 minutes.ASSAY PROCEDURE 1.Take out the test card from the foil bag, put it on the level table and mark it. 2.Discard the first two drops sample, add 3 drops (about 100μL) no bubble sample verticaly and slowly into sample well of the card with provided dispette, start timing. 3.The result should be read within 10-15 minutes, and it is invalid after 15 minutes.
