Cortisol

Cortisone

Clinical relevance

Cortisol and cortisone are steroid hormones that play a role in a range of diseases - one of the most common uses in clinical laboratories is the screening of Cushing’s syndrome and Addison’s disease. However, symptoms are not specific, requiring the precise and efficient determination of these parameters in the clinical laboratory.

 

Product advantages

  • Simple and non-invasive sample collection
    Saliva is a matrix that can be obtained very easily and for patients in a non-invasive manner. Stress-induced adrenal stress responses are thereby eliminated, making salivary sampling more reliable. This is of particular importance in stress research and pediatric applications.
  • Easy sample preparation
    The efficient sample preparation takes place in just a few steps.
  • Complete solution from sample to result
    This assay offers everything required for the determination, eliminating the need to develop your own laboratory tests. We also provide you with an excellent on-site support for installation, testing and more.
  • Reliable, robust and proven CE-IVD method
    With our CE-IVD method you gain access to LC-MS/MS as the best available assay for an accurate steroid analysis. The parameters are determined directly without the risk of cross-reactivity as described for immunoassays. You can trust your test results with specific co-eluting internal standards, human-matrix based multilevel calibrators and MassCheck® controls.
