The assessment of steroid hormones in saliva allows the specific determination of the biologically active or ‘free’ fraction of the target analyte.
Tecan’s Cortisol Saliva ELISA and Cortisol Saliva LUM kits are state-of-the-art alternatives to complex and expensive LC-MS/MS analysis to determine salivary cortisol as accurately as possible.
The investigation of cortisol in saliva is indicated in the diagnostic and research work-up of clinical issues in various scientific/medical fields, particularly endocrinology, psychology, sports and anti-aging medicine.
Measuring the free cortisol levels in saliva is a very simple and convenient way to check the function of the adrenal gland.
Cortisol measurement is also used to diagnose disorders associated with abnormal glucocorticoid production, for example, Cushing’s syndrome and Addison’s disease.
Our Saliva ELISA product line has been updated to offer similar processing workflows for the most commonly monitored steroids – cortisol, testosterone, progesterone, estradiol and DHEA. All kits use the same:
