Cortisol test for Easy Reader (10 stk.)

• CORTISOL-CHECK-1 can be performed with whole blood, plasma or serum of the

Completely thaw samples before testing! Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
• Do not use lipaemic or viscous plasma or serum.
• Mix the sample material well before use!
• Keep in mind that the sample material, as well as all used test-kit components,
should have reached room temperature at the time of application.
• ATTENTION: Partially fi lled and / or insuffi cient mixed EDTA, Citrate or Heparin
tubes could create interference effects resulting in unspecifi v test results.
