General assay procedure for testosterone.

1. Sampling procedureA) Volume varies measured2. Recovery corrections3. Extraction and evaporationa) Solvent Diethyl ether of the highest grade from freshly opened can. 500ml cans. b) extract once with 5ml etherc) vortex in a glass tube, allow to settle and remove supernatant into clean glass tubed) place the rack of tubes in solid CO2 (dry ice) and acetone. This is to freeze. Will allow the supernatant to decanted. e) can also be transferred using a Pasteur pipette.f) can be evaporated using three ways: 1-evaporate in the fume chamber at room temp until the ether has evaporated, 2-blown using nitrogen or compressed air and they must be filtered.3- tubes can be vacuum driedg) perform an ether blank. (5ml) value obtained should be 95% confidence limits of the Blank value. 4. redissolving and aliquotinga) 2ml of assay buffer should be added. b) vortex mix, 5 minutes gap, vortex again.c) take 0.5ml of the redissolved extract into a scintillation vial and add 10ml of a suitable scintillation fluid using a zippette.d) duplicate 0.5ml of the aliquots are transferred to the assay tubes.e) for each sample and standard in duplicate, add 100ul working solution, 100ul antiserum, d) addition of charcoal suspension 0.2ml
