The LH (Urine) ELISA is an enzyme immunoassay for the quantitative in vitro diagnostic measurement of LH in urine. This test is used to detect the midcycle LH surge in urine, which is an aid in predicting the time of ovulation. FDA Registered. For In Vitro Diagnostic Use.
The LH (Urine) ELISA Kit is a solid phase enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) basedon the sandwich principle. The microtiter wells are coated with a monoclonal (mouse) antibodydirected towards a unique antigenic site of the β-subunit of the LH molecule. During the firstincubation, the β-subunit of the LH molecule in the added sample binds to the immobilized antibody. After incubation, the added conjugate solution, which contains an anti-LH antibodyconjugated to horseradish peroxidase, binds to the LH forming a sandwich complex. After awashing step, to remove all unbound substances, the solid phase is incubated with the substratesolution. The colorimetric reaction is abruptly stopped by addition of stop solution and the opticaldensity (OD) of the resulting yellow product is measured. The intensity of color is proportional tothe concentration of the analyte in the sample. A standard curve is constructed by plotting ODvalues against concentrations of standards, and concentrations of unknown samples aredetermined using this standard curve.
1. What percentage of your IgE allergy testing panel consists of molecular allergens rather than allergen extracts? The ALEX2 IgE allergen panel consists of 117 extracts and 183 molecular allergens. This represents the largest panel of molecular allergens on the market, including 50 unique...
Cases of food and environmental allergies have been increasing over the last decade. While conservative estimates suggest IgE-mediated allergy affects 6-8% of children and 2-3% of adults, some estimates are as high as 30%.3, 2 Symptoms can range from mild to severe and include itching, hives,...
Food sensitivity or food intolerance involves a non-allergic response to a food or food additive. In a recent on-line survey conducted in the U.S., 24% of adults aged 18 to 79 reported a food intolerance. While a food allergy is typically mediated by IgE antibodies, adverse reactions to food...
