Diagnostic Kit for Testosterone(fluorescence immunochromatographic assay)
For in vitro diagnostic use only
Please read this package insert carefully prior to use and strictly follow the instructions. Reliability of assay results cannot be guaranteed if there are any deviations from the instructions in this package insert.

INTENDED USE
Diagnostic Kit for Testosterone (fluorescence immunochromatographic assay) is a fluorescence immunochromatographic assay for the quantitative detection of Testosterone (T) in human serum or plasma, which is mainly used to evaluate the levels of Testosterone.It is an auxiliary diagnosis reagent.All positive sample must be confirmed by other methodologies. This test is intended for healthcare professional use only.

SUMMARY
Testosterone(T), which has a molecular weight of 288.4 D.In the circulatory system, about 97% to 99% of testosterone binds to plasma proteins.Among them,60% of testosterone in the blood is bound to sex hormone binding globulin(SHBG),38% is bound to albumin, and 2% is free. The binding testosterone in the blood is not biologically active,and only free testosterone can enter the rake cells to exert its physiological effects.

PRINCIPLE OF THE PROCEDURE
The membrane of the test device is coated with the conjugate of BSA and Testosterone on the test region and goat anti rabbit IgG antibody on the control region. Marker pad are coated by fluorescence mark anti Testosterone antibody and rabbit IgG in advance. When testing sample, Testosterone in sample combine with fluorescence marked anti Testosterone antibody, and form immune mixture. Under the action of the immunochromatography, the complex flow in the direction of absorbent paper, when complex passed the test region, The free fluorescent marker will be combined with Testosterone on the membrane.The concentration of Testosterone is negative correlation for fluorescence signal, and the concentration of Testosterone in sample can be detected by fluorescence immunoassay assay.

3.All sample avoid freeze-thaw cycles.

ASSAY PROCEDURE
The test procedure of the instrument see the immunoanalyzer manual. The reagent test procedure is as follows
1.Lay aside all reagents and samples to room temperature.
2.Open the Portable Immune Analyzer(WIZ-A101), enter the account password login according to the operation method of the instrument, and enter the detection interface.
3.Scan the dentification code to confirm the test item.
4.Take out the test card from the foil bag.
5.Insert the test card into the card slot, scan the QR code, and determine the test item.
6.Add 30μL serum or plasma sample to A solution, and mix well.
7.Add 20μL B solution to the above mixture, and mix well.
8.Leave the mixture for 20 minutes.
9.Add 80μL mixture to sample well of the card.
10.Click the “standard test” button,after 10 minutes, the instrument will automatically detect the test card, it can read the results from the display screen of the instrument, and record/print the test results.
11.Refer to the instruction of Portable Immune Analyzer(WIZ-A101).

EXPECTED VALUES

Testosterone normal range: Male: 2.5-10.5ng/mL
Female:0.25-1.0ng/mL
It is recommended that each laboratory establish its own normal range representing its patient population.

TEST RESULTS AND INTERPRETATION
.The above data is the reference interval established for the detection data of this kit, and it is suggested that each laboratory should establish a reference interval for the relevant clinical significance of the population in this region.
.The concentration of Testosterone is higher than the reference range, and the physiological changes or stress response should be excluded.Indeed abnormal, should combine clinical symptom diagnosis.
.The results of this method are only applicable to the reference range established by this method, and the results are not directly comparable with other methods.
.Other factors can also cause errors in detection results, including technical reasons, operational errors and other sample factors.

STORAGE AND STABILITY
1.The kit is 18 months shelf-life from the date of manufacture. Store the unused kits at 2-30°C. DO NOT FREEZE. Do not use beyond the expiration date.
2.Do not open the sealed pouch until you are ready to perform a test, and the single-use test is suggested to be used under the required environment (temperature 2-35℃, humidity 40-90%) within 60 mins as quickly as possible.
3.Sample diluent is used immediately after being opened.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
.The kit should be sealed and protected against moisture.
.All positive specimens shall be validated by other methodologies.
.All specimens shall be treated as potential pollutant.
.DO NOT use expired reagent.
.DO NOT interchange reagents among kits with different lot no..
.DO NOT reuse test cards and any disposable accessories.
.Misoperation, excessive or little sample can lead to result deviations.

LIMITATION
.As with any assay employing mouse antibodies, the possibility exists for interference by human anti-mouse antibodies (HAMA) in the specimen. Specimens from patients who have received preparations of monoclonal antibodies for diagnosis or therapy may contain HAMA. Such specimens may cause false positive or false negative results.
.This test result is only for clinical reference, should not serve as the only basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment, the patients clinical management should be comprehensive consideration combined with its symptoms, medical history, other laboratory examination, treatment response, epidemiology and other information.
.This reagent is only used for serum and plasma tests. It may not obtain accurate result when used for other samples such as saliva and urine and etc.
