- Testosterone: helps you understand why you have missed periods, experience hair growth on your face or chest, or have difficulty getting pregnant.
- FSH: it checks for damage or disease of your ovaries.
- Free androgen index: helps you understand if you have abnormal levels.
- Sex Hormone Binding Globulin: it measures your testosterone deficiency or excess.

Scientific Data from Instrument and Reagent Supplier
Technology Method:
Fluorescence quantitative immunoassay
Limit of Detection:
- FSH: 1 mIU/mL.
- SHGB: 10 nmol/L.
- Testosterone: 0.1 ng/mL.
- Luteinising hormone: 1 mIU/mL
- Free Androgen Index: N/A (calculated)
Accuracy and Precision:
The relative standard deviation from the target value is ≤ 15%. The within-assay CV is ≤ 15%. The between-assay CV is ≤ 15%.
Measuring Ranges:
- FSH: 1~100 mIU/mL
- SHGB: 10~1000 nmol/L
- Testosterone: 0.1~16.0 ng/mL
- Luteinising hormone: 1~100 mIU/mL
- Free Androgen Index: N/A (calculated)
Validation-Active Information:
- EQA: N/A
- Inter-laboratory validations
- Periodic according to the validation schedule
- Event-triggered- QC/Calibration/New materials/Batch
Accuracy and Precision:
The accuracy of these PCOS exams is based on the relative deviation, which is the average deviation from the actual result value.
The precision relies on the within-assay coefficient of variations and the between-assay coefficient. The within-assay coefficient of variations is the variance of the result value if the same test is analysed again. The between-assay coefficient is the variance of the result value if the same sample is reprocessed from the beginning again.
Range results:
FSH:
- Female:5~20 mIU/mL
- Follicular phase: 4.46~12.43 mIU/mL
- Ovulatory phase: 4.88~20.96 mIU/mL

- Menopause: 20.00~98.62 mIU/mL
- Males: 1.50~12.40 mIU/mL.
SHGB:
- Nonpregnant females: 30~200 nmol/L
- Pregnant females: 200~500 nmol/L

Testosterone:
- Females: 0.10~0.75 ng/mL
- Males: 1.75~7.81 ng/mL
Luteinising:
