Steroid hormone analysis by tandem mass spectrometry.
BACKGROUND New high-performance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) methods are among the most successful approaches to improve specificity problems inherent in many immunoassays. CONTENT We emphasize problems with immunoassays for the measurement of steroids and review the emerging role of LC-MS/MS in the measurement of clinically relevant steroids. The latest generatio...
متن کاملInaccuracies in free thyroid hormone measurement by ultrafiltration and tandem mass spectrometry.
were within the levels of agreement (defined by bias 1.96 SD). Recently, decision-making regarding PCT results has been based on relative PCT concentrations rather than absolute cutoff points, taking into account patient day-today variations (1 ). With this shift toward PCT trend analysis, precision criteria might ultimately outweigh criteria for accuracy, putting the current discussion on inte...
متن کاملCorrelations of free thyroid hormones measured by tandem mass spectrometry and immunoassay with thyroid-stimulating hormone across 4 patient populations.
BACKGROUND Accurate measurement of free thyroid hormones is important for managing thyroid disorders. Ultrafiltration liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) can reliably measure the concentrations of small molecules, including thyroid hormones. Our study was designed to compare free thyroid hormone measurements performed with immunoassay and LC-MS/MS. METHODS We studied the...
متن کاملInverse log-linear relationship between thyroid-stimulating hormone and free thyroxine measured by direct analog immunoassay and tandem mass spectrometry.
BACKGROUND Accurate measurement of free thyroxine (FT(4)) is important for diagnosing and managing thyroid disorders. Most laboratories measure FT(4) by direct analogue immunoassay methods. The validity of these methods have recently been questioned. The inverse log-linear relationship between FT(4) and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) is well described and provides a physiological rationale o...
متن کاملProtein sequencing by tandem mass spectrometry.
Methodology for determining amino acid sequences of proteins by tandem mass spectrometry is described. The approach involves enzymatic and/or chemical degradation of the protein to a collection of peptides which are then fractionated by high-performance liquid chromatography. Each fraction, containing as many as 10-15 peptides, is then analyzed directly, without further purification, by a combi...
