The present invention relates to a composition for the detection of an endocrine hormone and/or endocrine hormone disrupting substance in a fluid, wherein said composition comprises a hormone receptor compound as a non-living material for forming a complex with said hormone and/or hormone disrupting substance. In that way a composition is provided which allows to perform an almost instantaneous detection of hormones and/or hormone disrupters in fluids. The composition of the present invention also comprises a detector, which is preferably a non-living material, for generating an observable signal upon formation of the complex. The present invention also relates to a composition and a device for eliminating an endocrine hormone and/or endocrine hormone disrupting substance from a fluid, either before or after digestion of the fluid.
