ABSTRACT:
A method for determination of a steroid such as dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DS) in a sample of a human body liquid wherein the liquid sample is transferred to a sheet of microfilter paper and dried before being treated with an aqueous solvent to obtain a mixture wherein the dried body liquid is substantially redissolved in the aqueous solution. The mixture is contacted with an aqueous solution of an agent capable of selectively binding the steroid in the presence of a radioisotopically labeled form of steriod whereby part of the labeled steroid and part of the unlabeled steroid present in the sample are bound by forming a complex with the binding agent. Bound steroids are separated from unbound steroids in the aqueous solution and the radioactivity of at least the separated binding agent-steroids-complex or the unbound steroids is performed to determine the concentration of the hormone as a function of measured radioactivity. Additionally, a means for performing the method is disclosed.
