Description

Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) is a critical glycoprotein hormone essential for the regulation of reproductive processes. This high-purity compound is vital for research and development in endocrinology and reproductive medicine, where precise biological activity is paramount. It serves as a key raw material for pharmaceutical manufacturers, diagnostic kit producers, and advanced life science research institutions globally.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Active Ingredient: Core component in fertility treatments and hormone replacement therapies.
• In Vitro Diagnostics (IVD): Used as a reference standard and calibrator in immunoassays for measuring FSH levels in clinical samples.
• Biomedical Research: Essential for studying folliculogenesis, spermatogenesis, and the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis.
• Veterinary Medicine: Applied in assisted reproductive technologies for livestock and endangered species.
• Cell Culture & Biotechnology: Used in specialized media for culturing granulosa cells and other hormone-responsive cell lines.
• Quality Control & Standardization: Serves as a primary standard for potency testing and batch consistency in related biopharmaceutical production.

Quality Control

Our Follicle-Stimulating Hormone is produced and tested under stringent quality management systems. Each batch is characterized for identity, purity, potency, and biological activity using advanced analytical techniques, ensuring it meets the exacting standards for pharmaceutical and research applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specifications such as purity by HPLC, bioactivity by in vitro bioassay, and endotoxin levels are provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store lyophilized (freeze-dried) material at -20°C or below. Reconstituted solutions should be aliquoted and stored at -70°C to -80°C to prevent activity loss. Due to its hygroscopic nature, protect from moisture during handling.
