Free & Bioavailable Testosterone
|
B&C Biotech has developed an algorithm that accurately and reliably calculates the free and bioavailable fractions of testosterone. The algorithm is comparable to the “gold standard” equilibrium dialysis method but utilizes measurements from routine state of the art automated analyzers. If you are contemplating performing free and bioavailable testosterone testing in your laboratory, B&C Biotech has your testing solution.
How it Works
The calculation is based on the laws of mass action and requires inputs of the Total Testosterone and SHBG (both of which can be performed on your immunoassay analyzer) and Albumin (performed on your automated chemistry analyzer). Once you have determined the concentrations of the Total Testosterone, SHBG, and Albumin, log on to the Smart Hormone Management (SHM) website and input the results. The website will accurately calculate the Free and Bioavailable fractions of Testosterone and present the data as a complete Free and Bioavailable Testosterone Panel in a report format for your records.
Instructions…..Easy, Accurate, Fast Results
1. Measure Total Testosterone, SHBG, and Albumin in your lab.
2. Log on to the SHM website.
3. Input the Total Testosterone, SHBG, and Albumin results in to the website calculator.
4. Print the calculated Free and Bioavailable Testosterone results in the panel report format.
5. Bill for the 3 CPT codes of Total Testosterone, SHBG, and Albumin.
