Human DHEA-S/Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulfate ELISA Kit

DHEA-S (dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate) is the most abundant circulating steroid hormone in humans, produced primarily by the adrenal cortex, and serves as a key precursor to both androgens and estrogens. This competitive ELISA from Assay Genie quantifies DHEA-S levels in human samples, supporting research into adrenal function, age-related hormonal changes, polycystic ovary syndrome, hirsutism, and adrenal tumor biology.

Because DHEA-S has a long half-life and minimal diurnal variation relative to other adrenal steroids, single-time-point measurements are commonly used in clinical research studies of hormonal status. The kit employs a competitive immunoassay format compatible with batch processing in standard laboratory workflows.

Each kit contains a microplate, calibrators, controls, conjugate, wash buffer, substrate, and stop solution. All components should be stored at refrigerated temperatures upon receipt and protected from light to preserve reagent stability. The assay is for research use only.
