Test Description

At natural levels hormones are not a problem, but levels might be artificially elevated, in order to gain advantage, especially for beef production. The gender of the animal is important in determining natural hormones, but detections in the wrong gender of animal, or unusually high levels in the right gender of animal,  can indicate mis-use. Urine and blood serum provide different matrices in which to analyse these hormones.

This blank material is ideal to ensure effective calibration curves are created. This can ensure only high quality test results are found. Blank materials from Fapas are ideal for ensuring matrix matching takes place. By using blank materials as close to positive test samples as possible the matrix effect is dramatically reduced.
