“…Beta-blockers all analytes of interest. Besides the subset of AAS, which were detected at limits of detection (LODs) sufficiently below respective MRPLs, also sulfoconjugated metabolites of testosterone (T), epitestosterone (E), 5α-dihydrotestosterone (DHT), dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), androsterone (A), and etiocholanolone (ETIO) were determined in the same analytical run, thus enabling the supplementation of GC-MS-based steroid profile measurements.The applicability of using nanoLC-HRMS to the direct analysis of diluted urine was discussed by Alcaranta-Duran et al37 Following a 1:50 (v/v) dilution of urine, specimens were injected onto a nanoLC analytical column (150 x 0.075 mm, particle size 3 μm), and analytes were gradient-eluted using water (solvent A) and meth-anol (solvent B) both containing 0.1% formic acid. The mass spectrometer was operated in positive ionization mode with full scan (m/z 170-1000) and all-ion fragmentation settings, employing a resolution of 70 000 and 15 000, respectively.…”
