The Access Prolactin assay is a paramagnetic particle, chemiluminescent immunoassay for the quantitative determination of prolactin (PRL) levels in human serum and plasma (heparin) using the Access Immunoassay Systems.
| Assay Features | • 30-minute time to first result • Serum or heparinized plasma is compatible with the assay, providing testing flexibility • Broad reportable range (0.25 - 200 ng/mL) reduces the need for sample dilution saving laboratory time • Small sample size of 25 μL allows the entire reproductive panel to be run from a single collection tube |

The Access Prolactin assay is a paramagnetic particle, chemiluminescent immunoassay for the quantitative determination of prolactin (PRL) levels in human serum and plasma (heparin) using the Access Immunoassay Systems. Prolactin (PRL) is a single chain polypeptide composed of 198 amino acids with three inter-chain disulfide bonds and a molecular weight of approximately 22,500 daltons. Prolactin is secreted by the anterior cells of the pituitary glands. Prolactin secretion is controlled by the hypothalamuc primarily through the release hormone (TRH) stimulates PRL secretion and is useful as a provocative test to evaluate PRL reserves and abnormal secretion of PRL by the pituitary.
