Testosterone

The Fortress Diagnostics Testosterone kit is intended for use in the quantitative determination of total testosterone concentration in human serum or plasma by a microplate chemiluminescence assay. 

Testosterone (17β-Hydroxy-4-androstene-3-one), a C₁₉ steroid, is the most potent naturally secreted androgen. In normal post pubertal males, testosterone is secreted primarily by the testes, with only a small amount derived from peripheral conversion of 4-Androstene-3, 17-dione (ASD).
