Order Estradiol Test, UltrasensitiveThe Estradiol Test, Ultrasensitive measures estradiol, the most potent naturally occurring estrogen, with an assay designed to detect low concentrations reliably.

This panel is intended for situations in which a highly sensitive measurement is clinically useful.
About Estradiol Test, Ultrasensitive in Martinez
Estradiol is a steroid hormone produced primarily by the ovaries, and in smaller amounts by the testes and adrenal glands. It influences reproductive function, bone density, cardiovascular health, and other physiological processes.
The ultrasensitive designation refers to the analytical method rather than the hormone itself. Liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry, often abbreviated LC-MS/MS, separates estradiol from other compounds in the sample before quantification. This approach reduces cross-reactivity and improves accuracy at the low end of the measurable range.
Results are typically reported as a concentration in picograms per milliliter or picomoles per liter, depending on the laboratory. Reference ranges vary by sex, age, and menopausal status, so results should be interpreted against the range provided by the performing laboratory and in the context of the individual's clinical picture.
Collection generally involves a blood draw from a vein in the arm. No special preparation is usually required beyond following the laboratory's instructions, though some clinicians request that the sample be drawn at a specific point in a cycle or at a particular time of day. Turnaround is commonly one to three business days after the specimen reaches the laboratory.
