| Androstrone

Androstenone (5α-androst-16-en-3-one) is a 16-androstene class steroidal pheromone.Androstenone is synthesized from androstadienone by 5α-reductase, and can be converted into 3α-androstenol or 3β-androstenol by 3-ketosteroid reductase.Androstenone was the first mammalian pheromone to be identified.Depending upon the subject, androstenone can have an unpleasant, sweaty, urinous smell, a woody smell, or even a pleasant floral smell.
 

| Typical data

As the OD values of the standard curve may vary according to the conditions of the actual assay performance (e.g. operator, pipetting technique, wash technique or temperature effects), the operator should establish a standard curve for each test. Typical standard curve and data are provided below for reference only.

 

Concentration (pg/mL)	4000	2000	1000	500	250	125	62.5	0
OD	0.19	0.24	0.31	0.55	0.97	1.38	1.96	2.52

 

| Repeatability

Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay)：CV% < 10%; Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays)：CV% < 10%
 

| Recovery

The recovery of Mouse Androstrone spiked at three different levels in samples throughout the range of the assay was evaluated in various matrices.

 

Sample Type	Range(%)	Average Recovery(%)
Serum(n=8)	81-101	96
Plasma(n=8)	92-105	101

 

| Linearity

Samples were spiked with high concentrations of Mouse Androstrone and diluted with Universal Diluent to produce samples with values within the range of the assay.

 

		Serum(n=4)	Plasma(n=4)
1 : 2	Range (%)	83-95	88-96
	Average (%)	91	93
1 : 4	Range (%)	89-104	87-108
	Average (%)	93	98
