Steroid hormones

Comprehensive profiling of endocrine health and steroidogenesis

This panel provides quantitative analysis of 24 steroid hormones and related compounds, including corticosteroids, androgens, estrogens, and thyroid markers. It is designed for high-precision research on endocrine function, stress response, and reproductive health.

Comprehensive metabolic coverage

Our steroid panel is optimized to detect low-abundance hormones and their precursors, providing a deep look into the steroidogenic pathways.

Key features of our service

  • Quantitative Precision: Absolute quantification of 24 major steroids and related metabolites.

  • Endocrine Insight: Covers the full spectrum from stress hormones like Cortisol to sex steroids and Thyroid markers (T3, T4).

  • High Sensitivity: Specialized LC-MS/MS protocols to capture hormone levels even in complex matrices like tissue or feces.
