The fluorecare® PRL Test Kit is a cornerstone for reproductive health and endocrine diagnostics. By providing rapid, laboratory-grade quantitative results at the point of care, it enables clinicians to promptly diagnose hyperprolactinemia, evaluate pituitary function, and monitor treatment for infertility or menstrual disorders. Its integration into the fluorecare® POCT platform ensures that high-quality diagnostic insights are accessible beyond traditional laboratory settings.

Product Introduction

The fluorecare® PRL Test Kit (Prolactin) developed by Microprofit Biotech is a quantitative immunofluorescence assay (FIA) designed for the precise measurement of prolactin levels in human serum and plasma. Prolactin is a critical hormone secreted by the anterior pituitary gland, primarily responsible for lactation and playing a significant role in reproductive health. This test is an essential tool for hospitals, clinics, and laboratories seeking efficient and reliable endocrine testing solutions.

Detection Principle

The fluorecare® PRL test kit utilizes fluorescence immunochromatographic assay technology. Using a double antibody sandwich method, PRL in the sample binds with fluorescent-labeled antibodies to form antigen-antibody complexes. These complexes are captured on the test line, where the fluorescence signal intensity is measured by the fluorecare® immunofluorescence analyzer. The signal is positively correlated with the PRL concentration, allowing for accurate quantitative analysis.

Clinical Applications

Diagnosis and monitoring of hyperprolactinemia.

Evaluation of pituitary gland disorders (e.g., prolactinomas).

Investigation of female infertility and menstrual irregularities (amenorrhea).

Assessment of male reproductive dysfunction and galactorrhea.

Monitoring the effectiveness of dopamine agonist treatments.
