The Access hFSH assay is a paramagnetic particle, chemiluminescent immunoassay for the quantitative determination of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) levels in human serum and plasma using the Access Immunoassay Systems.
| Assay Features | • 55-minute time to fi rst result • Serum or heparinized plasma is compatible with the assay, providing testing flexibility • Broad reportable range (0.2-200 mIU/mL) reduces the need for sample dilution, saving laboratory time • Small sample volume (25 μL) allows less blood to be collected • Analytical sensitivity of 0.2 mlU/mL—necessary in the diagnosis of hypogonadism and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) • Calibration stability of 28 days |

The Access hFSH assay is a paramagnetic particle, chemiluminescent immunoassay for the quantitative determination of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) levels in human serum and plasma using the Access Immunoassay Systems. Human follicle stimulating hormone (hFSH, follitropin) is made up of two non-identical, covalently-associated glycoprotein subunits, denoted alpha and beta. It has been reported that the beta subunit of the 30,000 dalton molecular weight hFSH contains two asparagine- linked carbohydrate chains. The alpha subunit is similar in structure for the glycoproteins hFSH, hCG, hLH, and hTSH. It is differences in the beta subunit of these glycoproteins which contributes to immunological and physiological specificity.
