Salivary Progesterone HS ELISA

Reason

The user of this assay may observe a higher percentage of samples with low results. Saliva samples in the low measuring range of the kit (less than 20 pg/mL) were assayed and producing a significantly lower result. Samples above 50 pg/mL were found to be accurate. This issue is caused by a component of the calibrator's matrix that has lost activity over time. It was found to be accurate.
