Merck launches testosterone calibrator kit for in vitro diagnostic use

Merck is launching a new calibration kit to provide more sensitive testosterone measurement in men, women and children.

The testosterone calibrator kit is designed for in vitro diagnostic use to allow users to calibrate assays and verify calibrations. It has been granted European CE Mark approval, making it the first device of its kind to receive this classification.

Encompassing both male and female testosterone clinical reference ranges, the kit's broad reference range offers enough analytical sensitivity to provide accurate testing using new mass spec-based methods.

Traditional immunoassays for measuring testosterone levels can often be inaccurate and deliver inconsistent results, especially at the low levels present in women and children, and Merck's kit has been optimised to address these challenges.

This is the latest addition to the company's portfolio of Cerilliant-certified reference materials, which are used to validate analytical measurement methods, and are manufactured and optimised by the manufacturer to ensure the highest level of accuracy.
