    This study presents a simple, stable method for counting tritiated antibody-bound steroids using toluene-based scintillant. The technique offers improved count rates compared to existing methods, enhancing steroid analysis accuracy.

    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Analytical Chemistry
    • Immunochemistry

    Background:

    • Accurate quantification of steroid-hormone conjugates is crucial in endocrinology and diagnostics.
    • Existing methods for counting tritiated antibody-bound steroids can be limited by stability, quenching, or complex procedures.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a simple, efficient, and stable method for quantifying tritiated antibody-bound steroids.
    • To compare the new method's performance against established techniques for steroid analysis.

    Main Methods:

    • A novel technique involving acidification and extraction into a toluene-based scintillant for counting tritiated antibody-bound steroids.
    • Utilized a specific antibody for estradiol to demonstrate the method's application in antibody titration and standard curves.
