Overview

Cortisol is a glucocorticoid steroid hormone produced by the adrenal cortex. It is the primary biomarker of HPA (hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal) axis activity and is used to monitor stress in sport, health, military, and clinical settings.

The SOMA Cortisol LFD provides quantitative measurement when used with the Cube LFD Reader, delivering lab-equivalent results without the need for laboratory infrastructure.

Key Applications

  • Sport science — monitoring training load and recovery
  • Health & wellness — diurnal cortisol profiling
  • Corporate — workplace stress monitoring
  • Clinical — HPA axis assessment
  • Military — performance under stress

Validation

Independent research has shown SOMA Cortisol tests give similar values to Salimetrics laboratory ELISA kits. See the validation papers for details.
