Cortisol Saliva ELISA by Tecan

Sensitive and reliable

The investigation of cortisol in saliva is indicated in the diagnostic work-up of clinical issues in various scientific/medical fields, particularly endocrinology, psychology, sports medicine, pediatrics, anti-aging medicine, and veterinary medicine

Measuring the free cortisol levels in saliva is a very simple and convenient way to check the function of the adrenal gland. Persistently elevated or decreased cortisol levels are often found in patients with adrenal dysfunction. Adrenal dysfunction can occur in many other diseases, such as fibromyalgia, hypothyroidism, chronic fatigue syndrome and premature menopause.
The salivary cortisol test can also be used in patients with conditions such as reduced stress tolerance, fatigue, sleep disorders and depression.

Standardized reagents

Our Saliva ELISA product line has been revised so that the main steroids (cortisol, testosterone, progesterone, DHEA) may be processed in a similar way:

• The substrate, washing and stop solutions are interchangeable;
• The enzyme conjugate, the substrate and stop solutions are uniformly pipetted with 100 µL;
• The kits contain as few as 6 standards and 2 controls;
• Only 50 µL sample volume are required;
• All kits use the same sample diluent buffer.

  IBL-ELISA = 1.015 x LCMS-0.028, R=0.99
• As few as 6 standards and 2 controls;
