A technique for the analysis and measurement of C19-steroids by high-resolution selected ion monitoring has been used in this laboratory to study the level of endogenous steroids in human prostatic tissue (Millington, 1975; Millington, Buoy, Brooks, Harper & Griffiths, 1975). A similar procedure has now been used as a reference method to determine the concentration of oestradiol-17β in plasma samples from a quality control scheme for the Supra-Regional Assay Service (SAS) in the United Kingdom. Results from this combined gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric (GC-MS) method were compared with those obtained from the assay of oestradiol-17β with the routine radioimmunoassay (RIA) procedure used in this laboratory (Golder, Phillips, Fahmy, Preece, Jones, Henk & Griffiths, 1976).
All gas Chromatographie column packings and the reagent bis-(N,O)trimethylsilyl acetamide were supplied by Jones Chromatography Limited, Llanbradach, Glamorgan.
Journal of Endocrinology is committed to supporting researchers in demonstrating the impact of their articles published in the journal.
The two types of article metrics we measure are (i) more traditional full-text views and pdf downloads, and (ii) Altmetric data, which shows the wider impact of articles in a range of non-traditional sources, such as social media.
