LC/MS/MS Analysis of Estradiol (Underivatized) from Patient Serum on Titan C18, 5 cm Column
Matériaux
CONDITIONS
sample preparation
SPE (Solid Phase Extraction)
sample
A 200 μL sample of calibrator or serum was mixed with 50 μL of internal standard solution (1 nmol/L 13C4-estradiol in 30% methanol) and vortexed. (Liquid-liquid extraction was performed by addition of 1 mL of MTBE. Supernatants were dried down and reconstituted in 100 μL of 50% methanol before being transferred to the LC/MS/MS system.)

Description
Remarque sur l'analyse
A fast and robust LC/MS/MS method was developed for the measurement of estradiol in human serum using Titan C18 1.9 μm columns. Ultra high purity LC-MS solvents were used to supply low background interference and low particulate contaminants for robust, trouble-free operation. Cerilliant certified reference material grade standards provided reliable quantification.
