Biomarker Hormone Function
This test helps evaluate pituitary function by quantifying luteinizing hormone in the blood, to diagnose pituitary gland disease, and to determine congenitally or acquired gonadotropin dysfunction.
Fast and Reliable Hormone TestingThe Boditech AFIAS LH test offers rapid and accurate quantitative results for luteinizing hormone in human serum or plasma. Its fluorescence immunoassay technology ensures both high sensitivity and specificity, with a limit of detection as low as 1.0 mIU/mL. The automated process reduces user intervention, allowing laboratories to streamline workflow while maintaining robust quality standards.
User-Friendly and Convenient DesignEach cartridge is pre-calibrated and individually packed for single use, guaranteeing ease of use and traceability. The test is simple to perform, only requiring minimal sample volume and immediate use after opening. Its lightweight, portable nature when paired with the AFIAS Analyzer enables diagnostic flexibility, whether in a central lab or satellite facility.
Optimal Storage and Shelf LifeThe cartridges should be stored at 2-8C and never frozen. With an 18-month shelf life from manufacturing date, labs can manage inventory efficiently. For accuracy, it is vital to use the cartridge immediately after removing it from the sealed pouch, ensuring test integrity and reliable results for every run.
FAQ's of Boditech AFIAS Luteinizing Hormone (LH):
Q: How does the AFIAS LH test work in the laboratory setting?
A: The AFIAS LH test uses a fluorescent lateral flow immunoassay technique, providing quantitative analysis of luteinizing hormone in human serum or plasma. The user loads approximately 50-100 L of sample into the cartridge, which is then read by the AFIAS Analyzer. Results are displayed within 10-15 minutes.
Q: What types of samples can be used with the AFIAS LH test cartridge?
A: The test is validated for use with human serum or plasma samples, ensuring flexibility for standard serum or plasma processing in diagnostic laboratories.
Q: When should the cartridge be used after opening its pouch?
A: Each cartridge must be used immediately after opening the sealed pouch to maintain accuracy and prevent environmental exposure from affecting the assay.
Q: Where can the AFIAS LH cartridges be stored safely?
A: Cartridges should be stored between 2 and 8C, away from direct sunlight, and should never be frozen, to ensure chemical stability and reliable test performance.
Q: What are the main benefits of using the AFIAS LH test for laboratory professionals?
A: Key advantages include rapid results, high accuracy and sensitivity, minimal sample requirement, automated operation with the AFIAS Analyzer, and pre-calibrated single-use cartridges for simplified workflow and traceability.
Q: Is any equipment calibration needed prior to running the test?
A: No user calibration is required. The AFIAS LH cartridge is pre-calibrated, reducing preparation time and the risk of user error.
Q: How does the internal quality control feature work in the AFIAS LH test?
A: Each cartridge contains an internal control line that ensures the test operates correctly, providing confidence in result validity for laboratory professionals.
