Measurement of gonadotropins in dried blood spots
Abstract We describe direct immunofluorometric assays for luteinizing hormone (hLH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (hFSH) in fingerstick blood spots dried on filter paper, based on modifications of commercially available kits. Determinations are made from 2.5-mm-diameter discs (3 microL of dried blood) punched out from blood spot ...
