Intended use:
RIDASCREEN® Methyltestosteron is a competitive enzyme immunoassay for the quantitative analysis of methyltestosterone in urine.
General information:
The anabolic effects of methyltestosterone are comparable to those of testosterone, which is a natural male sexual hormone. Methyltestosterone is a synthetic steroid hormone and is in the same way as testosterone also illegally used as resource in cattle fattening.
