  • Determination of 17 Hormone Residues in Milk by Ultra-High-Performance Liquid Chromatography and Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrom
    No. LCMSMS-065E Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry Determination of 17 Hormone Residues in Milk by Ultra-High-Performance Liquid Chromatography and Triple Quadrupole No. LCMSMS-65E Mass Spectrometry This application news presents a method for the determination of 17 hormone residues in milk using Shimadzu Ultra-High-Performance Liquid Chromatograph (UHPLC) LC-30A and Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer LCMS- 8040. After sample pretreatment, the compounds in the milk matrix were separated using UPLC LC-30A and analyzed via Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer LCMS-8040. All 17 hormones displayed good linearity within their respective concentration range, with correlation coefficient in the range of 0.9974 and 0.9999. The RSD% of retention time and peak area of 17 hormones at the low-, mid- and high- concentrations were in the range of 0.0102-0.161% and 0.563-6.55% respectively, indicating good instrument precision. Method validation was conducted and the matrix spike recovery of milk ranged between 61.00-110.9%. The limit of quantitation was 0.14-0.975 g/kg, and it meets the requirement for detection of hormones in milk.

Introduction Appearance and performance enhancing drugs (APEDs) are most often used by males to improve appearance by building muscle mass or to enhance athletic performance. Although they may directly and indirectly have effects on a user’s mood, they do not produce a euphoric high, which makes APEDs distinct from other drugs such as cocaine, heroin, and marijuana. However, users may develop a substance use disorder, defined as continued use despite adverse consequences.

BERTRAND, Ph.D. Centre de Recherches en Sciences de la Sante, Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique, Centre Hospitalier Louis-H. Lafontaine, Montrdal, Quebec, Canada ABSTRACT Recently developped radioimmunoassays (RIA) for the analysis of anabolic steroids and their metabolites in biological fluids were tested for cross-reactivity with other types of steroids. Results show that the degree of desirable cross-reactivity within the two classes of orally active anabolic steroids vary widely and that the antiserum for 19-Nortestosterone (the active principle of intramuscular, preparations) has a very high degree of undesirable cross- reactivity with components of oral contraceptives. Single and multiple dose studies in human volunteers demonstrate that the detection level and degree of retrospectivity are likewise variable but that the test easily detects most anabolic steroids during treatment. At the present time, the combination of the three antisera for the assay of a sample appears to be a relatively rapid and economic method for screening large numbers of samples in situations where doping control of anabolic steroids is required. The importance of utilizing physico-chemical means for identification of RIA potential positives is emphasized.
