The BIOSENSE PRODUCTSAFE™ product line consists of ELISA kits to eliminate suspicion of potential endocrine disrupting effects of new and existing chemical compounds. (Endocrine disrupting chemicals - EDCs)

The quantitative Vitellogenin ELISA assays are developed for rapid and sensitive measurements. The kits contain the reagents necessary to run cost-effective analyses, and are developed in accordance with the recommendations from the OECD to use vitellogenin Vtg(*), (egg-yolk protein) as a core endpoint in screening and testing for endocrine disruptors.

The BIOSENSE PRODUCTSAFE™ kits combine a unique set of components making them highly sensitive, robust and user friendly.

(*)Vtg is a highly sensitive biomarker for estrogenic chemicals, normally only found in sexually mature female fish, but induced to high levels in juvenile and male fish exposed to estrogens /xenoestrogens.

Biosense Laboratories AS is leading the way in developing commercial quantitative vitellogenin (Vtg) ELISA test kits for detection of endocrine disruptors with estrogenic or anti-estrogenic properties. The kits are in accordance with the recommendations from the OECD to use Vtg as a core endpoint in screening and testing for endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs).

We have designed and optimised unique combinations of components making the Biosense quantitative ELISA test kits highly sensitive, robust and user friendly. The quantitative Vtg ELISA kits are developed for rapid and sensitive measurements. The kits contain the reagents necessary to run cost-effective analyses.

The fish Vtg ELISA kits have been developed for the standard fish test species recommended by OECD, and used in many ecotoxicology laboratories throughout the world.
