LH ELISA kit

• Sensitive measurement of LH, detecting as little as 5.2 mIU/ml
• Negligible reactivity from similar glycoprotein hormones
• High throughput format with results in 2 hours for up to 39 samples in duplicate
• Fully quantitative results that surpass semi-quantitative Western blot analysis

The LH ELISA kit is a colorimetric competitive enzyme immunoassay kit with results in 2 hours.

LH is produced by the gonadotroph cells in the anterior pituitary gland. It is responsible for ovulation in women and controls testosterone synthesis in men. An acute rise of LH, referred to as the “LH surge”, triggers ovulation and development of the corpus luteum in females. After ovulation, LH supports the transient life span of the corpus luteum acting on the luteinized granulosa cells. Cell enlargement and increased progesterone production are involved in the luteinization of the granulosa cells, which are closely associated with the developing gamete (egg) in the ovary.
