Faster analysis of anabolic steroids in kidney fat by downscaling the sample size and using gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry
نویسندگان
چکیده
A rapid and easy-to-perform method for the screening and confirmation of estrogens, gestagens and androgens (EGAs) in kidney fat has been developed. In this investigation only 5 g of fat was needed. After extraction with acetonitrile the steroid phase was defatted using n-hexane. Followed by a saponification step, the sample extract was purified by solid phase extraction. After derivatisation as trimethylsilyl ether derivatives, the steroids in the final extract were analysed using gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS2). With this method the Belgian National Minimum Required Performance Limits (National MRPLs) for EGAs could be fulfilled. © 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Background and Objectives: Dithiocarbamates are groups of fungicides used to control pests of agricultural products. Analysis of these pesticides with liquid and gas chromatography instruments is associated with various problems due to the presence of metal groups in the structure of these compounds. Therefore, one of the ways for analysis the pesticides is to check the level of decomposition...

A selective and sensitive liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method was developed for the determination of berberine, palmatine and jatrorrhizine in rat plasma. Target compounds, together with the internal standard (metronidazole), were extracted from rat plasma samples by protein precipitation with acetonitrile-methanol (1:2, v/v). Chromatography was carried out using a ...
