VIDAS® Hormone & Fertility Assays
For the Investigation and Treatment of Infertility
The VIDAS® Fertility Panel provides key diagnostic tools for the investigation of reproductive hormone dysfunctions such as precocious and delayed puberty, amenorrhea, hirsutism, hyperprolactinemia, perimenopause and menopause, hypogonadism, gynecomastia, and azoospermia.

Overview
The VIDAS® Hormones & Fertility panel includes 9 fully automated hormone tests for the quantitative measurement of luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), estradiol, prolactin, progesterone, testosterone, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), and Cortisol S.
- Robust and reliable AMH assay
- Clinically validated estradiol and progesterone assays
- Convenient solution for fertility centers to perform on-site testing
Reliable and Robust AMH Assay
The new VIDAS® AMH assay offers on-hand quality testing for confident decisions:
- Reliable results when compared with an existing automated method*
- Patented proprietary raw materials for minimal impact of the pre-analytical stage on test results: up to 3 freezing/thawing cycles possible
In the context of infertility management, immediate integration of AMH measurements into the full diagnostic work-up allows to reduce patient stress, avoid unnecessary ovarian stimulation, and reduce the risk of hyperstimulation syndrome.
Precise and Sensitive Tools
Clinical evaluation of the VIDAS® Estradiol and VIDAS® Progesterone assays has confirmed their reliability for use in evaluating natural cycles and monitoring ovarian superovulation1:
- Accuracy in the low concentration range to confirm pituitary suppression after GnRH-agonist therapy
- Strong correlation between serum estradiol measured by VIDAS® Estradiol and follicular measurements by ultrasonography during gonadotropin treatment with both GnRH analogue protocols
Testing Made Simple for Fertility Clinics
Easy-to-use solution:
