Immunoassay for the in vitro quantitative determination of estradiol in human serum and plasma.
Device Story
Elecsys® Estradiol Assay is an in vitro diagnostic immunoassay for quantitative estradiol measurement in human serum and plasma. Device uses competition principle; 50 µL sample incubated with biotinylated estradiol-specific antibody; streptavidin-coated microparticles and ruthenium-labeled estradiol derivative added. Microparticles magnetically captured on electrode surface; voltage application induces chemiluminescent emission measured by photomultiplier. Results calculated via instrument-specific calibration curve and reagent bar code master curve. Used in clinical laboratory settings on Elecsys® 2010 instrument. Provides quantitative estradiol levels to assist clinicians in endocrine assessment and patient management.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Precision evaluated using modified NCCLS protocols (N=60 per level); Elecsys showed improved precision (Total %CV 5.0-9.0%) compared to predicate (Total %CV 9.1-16.1%). Linearity established from 10-4600 pg/mL. Method comparison against predicate (N=74) yielded y=0.902x + 42.94, r=0.976. Interference testing performed for bilirubin, hemoglobin, lipemia, and biotin. Specificity cross-reactivity profiles provided for various steroids.
Technological Characteristics
Electrochemiluminescence immunoassay; uses streptavidin-coated microparticles and ruthenium complex (Tris(2,2'-bipyridyl)ruthenium(II)) label. Requires Elecsys® 2010 instrument. Calibration via 2-point calibration and reagent bar code master curve. Assay duration 18 minutes at 37 °C.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the in vitro quantitative determination of estradiol in human serum and plasma for clinical diagnostic purposes.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An estradiol test system is a device intended to measure estradiol, an estrogenic steroid, in plasma. Estradiol measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of various hormonal sexual disorders and in assessing placental function in complicated pregnancy.

## 4. Device Description
Competition principle. Total duration of assay: 18 minutes, 37 °C.
- 1st incubation (9 minutes): By incubating the sample (50 µL) with an estradiol-specific biotinylated antibody (65 µL), an immunocomplex is formed, the amount of which is dependent upon the analyte concentration in the sample.
- 2nd incubation (9 minutes): After addition of streptavidin-coated microparticles (35 µL) and an estradiol derivative labeled with a ruthenium complex** (65 µL), the still-vacant sites of the biotinylated antibodies become occupied, with the formation of an antibody-hapten complex. The entire complex becomes bound to the solid phase via interaction of biotin and streptavidin.
- The reaction mixture is aspirated into the measuring cell where the microparticles are magnetically captured onto the surface of the electrode. Unbound substances are then removed with ProCell. Application of a voltage to the electrode then induces chemiluminescent emission which is measured by a photomultiplier (0.4 second read frame).
- Results are determined via a calibration curve which is instrument-specifically generated by 2-point calibration and a master curve provided via the reagent bar code.
