The Demeditec PMSG ELISA is an enzyme immunoassay for the quantitative in vitro measurement of Pregnant Mare Serum Gonadotropin (PMSG) in equine serum and plasma

PMSG or equine chorionic gonadotropin is secreted by the endometrial cups of the pregnant mares uterus. The hormone is found in the blood of the pregnant mare between the 40th and 120th days of gestation, reaching a peak at approximately the 60th day. Measurement of PMSG provides a specific test for pregnancy since the hormone is only found in the pregnant mare. After 150 days of gestation, hormone levels are no longer detectable. The PMSG diagnostic test as a means of pregnancy testing is a suitable and convenient method to confirm earlier ultrasound scanning techniques and allows the practitioner to obtain this information quickly and economically in the laboratory.
