firstFlagX

firstFlagX is a ready-to-use test kit based on InsituGen’s proven bioassay, specifically developed for use in reference laboratories. It enables the reliable detection of total androgen bioactivity – including unknown androgens, designer steroids, testosterone mimics, and any other compound that binds to the androgen receptor. This non-targeted screening approach makes firstFlagX an ideal complementary tool to existing analytical techniques, supporting laboratories in identifying both known and emerging threats in doping control.

Broad Detection Capabilities

The firstFlagX Androgen Bioactivity Test captures androgen activity regardless of chemical structure. By focusing on receptor binding and cellular response, the assay detects androgenic substances that traditional methods might miss – including contaminants or newly synthesised compounds.

Seamless Integration into Laboratory Workflows

firstFlagX fits into standard lab procedures without the need for cell culture or specialised incubation. Its 96-well format and fluorescence-based readout are compatible with common benchtop fluorometers, enabling straightforward implementation.

Technical Data

Tech Facts & Intended Use

InsituGen’s firstFlagX is designed for screening of biological samples for total androgenic activity (i.e. effectiveness of samples to activate the androgen receptor).

firstFlagX is an ideal screening tool for the detection of androgenic activity in horse and camel plasma and serum samples for veterinary or analytical purposes.
