A new fluorometric enzyme immunoassay for 17β-estradiol (E2) using biotinylated estradiol (BE) as a probe ligand, is described. In this method, E2 is detected indirectly by a solid-phase avidin-biotin binding assay, in which the biotin is immobilized on a microtiter plate (biotin-plate). After the competitive reaction between E2 and BE for the anti-E2 antibody in solution, the free E2 and BE are separated from the bound forms by means of ultrafiltration. The concentration of BE in the solution is determined from the reaction between the biotin immobilized on the plate and the free BE for the limited biotin binding sites of avidin conjugated with horseradish peroxidase (avidin-HRP), which is added to the solution. The enzymatic reaction of HRP was TM measured by a fluorometric analysis with the QuantaBlu Fluorogenic Peroxidase Substrate (QFPS) in order to detect of the avidin-biotin binding with a high degree of sensitivity. The detection limit and linear range for the determination of E2 were 0.12 nM and from 0.12 to 25 nM, respectively. The relative standard deviations (RSD) for the E2 assay were between 2.2 and 9.1% (n = 3). The cross-reactivity for several other estrogens was also evaluated.
