Product Information

• Name: Cortisol 3-CMO-BSA
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Cortisol 3-CMO-BSA is a biochemical conjugate used predominantly in immunoassays, which is composed of the steroid hormone cortisol modified with a carboxymethyl)oxime group, subsequently conjugated to bovine serum albumin (BSA). This complex is synthesized by chemically attaching the cortisol derivative to BSA, a large and stable protein, to enhance the immunogenic properties of cortisol by presenting it in a protein-bound form.The mode of action involves using the cortisol-BSA conjugate as an immunogen or antigen in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) for the competitive detection of cortisol levels. The cortisol 3-CMO-BSA acts as a competitor with free cortisol in the sample for binding to a specific antibody. By measuring the degree of antibody binding, the concentration of free cortisol in the sample can be inferred.This product is valuable in biochemical research and clinical diagnostics to study cortisol levels in various biological samples. It is particularly useful in assessing stress responses, adrenal function, and the circadian rhythm of cortisol secretion in humans and animals.
