LH DETECT® for fox

^{LH DETECT^® for fox}

An immuno-enzymatic (not radio-active) assay kit to accurately measure Luteinizing Hormone in various animal species.

LH DETECT® can be used in a laboratory for highly accurate measurements and detection of the pre-ovulatory LH surge, from a blood, serum or plasma sample. For sheep and goats, measurement can also be done on a milk sample.

Description

LH DETECT® is particularly useful for the following works :

Following the LH secretions during the male and female sexual cycle
Studying the micropulsatility of LH secretions
Determining the most appropriate time to proceed to an artificial insemination insofar as the time between LH surge and ovulation is known and constant for each specie
Any other study requiring an accurate LH measurement

LH detection can be done from blood, plasma or serum samples, and even in the milk of sheeps.

Choose your substrate: ABTS or TMB (recommanded for quantitative works); and your kind of plate: entire one or strip one (divisible in 16-well segments).

LH DETECT® is build under an exclusive and wordlwide INRA licence.

Principle

LH DETECT® is an ELISA sandwich type immunoenzymatic test. The enzymatic activity is revealed by a chromogenic substrate.

Reaction intensity is proportionnal to LH concentration in the test sample. They evaluation may be performed visually (qualitative) or measured with a spectrophotometer.

For qualitative assay, a positive control sample permits the reaction validation. For this use, we recommend using ABTS as substrate.

For quantitative assay, a scale of standards, produced with the LH of the concerning specie, is used. In this case, we recommend using TMB as substrate.

You can choose between two types of plate: entire one, or strip one divisible in 16-well segments. The strip one allows avoiding defrosting all the wells when only a few samples are going to be tested.

Procedure

Please find below the schematic procedure of LH DETECT®. It describes all the procedure, including sample and reagents preparation.

Applications

LH DETECT® is used for a qualitative LH measurement among fox. Some works were done among the norvegian Blue Fox (Maurel MC et al., 1993). The blood samplings rate is 1 every 24 hours during the preovulatory period.
