It is mainly used for the quantitative detection of cortisol (COR) in human serum and plasma in vitro.
Intended Use
Cortisol, also known as hydrocortisone, also known as hydrocorticoid or compound F (compound F), is extracted from the adrenal cortex and has the strongest effect on carbohydrate metabolism.
People who experience repetitive stress, or have a stressful lifestyle, or are on a diet, or sleep less than 8 hours a night, are more likely to be chronically stressed, which can skew their cortisol levels over time. high. This is when the negative effects of cortisol begin to manifest as changes in metabolism: increased blood sugar, increased appetite, weight gain, decreased libido, and extreme fatigue.

Sample Requirements
1. The serum is recommended to be collected by ordinary serum collection tubes or tubes with procoagulant. If it cannot be used immediately, it is recommended to be stored at 2-8℃ and the test should be completed within 24 hours. If the test cannot be performed within 24 hours, the sample needs to be frozen at -20℃ for 1 month.
2. Samples containing sediment or flocculent material should be centrifuged (4000rpm, 10min) and then tested.
3. Samples must be returned to room temperature (15-30℃) before testing. Frozen samples should be completely thawed, rewarmed and mixed well before use. Do not repeatedly freeze and thaw.
4. Heat inactivated samples, hemolysis and other abnormal samples should be discarded.
