  • Urine assay for ovarian reserve
    Patent number: 7326578
    Abstract: It has been found that a urine test for ovarian reserve can be provided which is equivalent in sensitivity to current laboratory methods which determine ovarian reserve based on FSH levels in serum. A lateral flow device for indicating ovarian reserve is disclosed. The device has an application zone for receiving a urine sample, a labelling zone containing label which binds to FSH in the sample, and a detection zone where FSH-bound label is retained. The detection zone has a threshold value which corresponds to a serum FSII level of between 5-20 mIU/ml (e.g. 10 mIU/ml). A test result above the threshold value indicates diminished ovarian reserve.
