Provided are methods for determining the amount of estrone in a sample using mass spectrometry. The methods generally involve ionizing estrone in a sample and detecting and quantifying the amount of the ion to determine the amount of estrone in the sample.
- Claim:
1. A method for determining the amount of estrone in a sample, said method comprising: (a) adding deuterated estrone to a sample; (b) derivatizing estrone to produce a derivative of estrone; (c) purifying the sample by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC); (d) ionizing the derivative of estrone and deuterated estrone in said sample to produce one or more ions detectable by mass spectrometry; and (e) detecting the amount of the ions by tandem mass spectrometry.
- Claim:
2. The method of claim 1, wherein said deuterated estrone is d4-estrone.
- Claim:
3. The method of claim 1, wherein said deuterated estrone is 2,4,16,16-d4 estrone.
- Claim:
4. The method of claim 1, wherein said method further comprises subjecting estrone from said sample to an extraction.
- Claim:
5. The method of claim 1, wherein said method has a limit of quantitation less than or equal to 20 pg/mL.
- Claim:
6. The method of claim 1, wherein said method has a limit of detection less than or equal to 10 pg/mL.
- Claim:
7. The method of claim 1, wherein said sample is a human plasma or serum sample.
- Claim:
8. The method of claim 1, wherein said ionization is atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) or electrospray ionization (ESI).
- Claim:
9. A method for determining the amount of estrone in a sample, said method comprising: (a) adding deuterated estrone to a sample; (b) derivatizing estrone to produce a derivative of estrone; (c) purifying the sample by liquid chromatography; (d) ionizing derivatized estrone and deuterated estrone in said sample to produce one or more ions detectable by mass spectrometry; and (e) detecting the amount of the ions by tandem mass spectrometry.
- Claim:
10. The method of claim 9, wherein said liquid chromatography comprises high turbulence liquid chromatography (HTLC).
- Claim:
11. The method of claim 9, wherein said liquid chromatography comprises high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
- Claim:
12. The method of claim 9, wherein said deuterated estrone is d4-estrone.
- Claim:
13. The method of claim 9, wherein said deuterated estrone is 2,4,16,16-d4 estrone.
- Claim:
14. The method of claim 9, wherein said method further comprises subjecting estrone from said sample to an extraction.
- Claim:
15. The method of claim 9, wherein said method has a limit of quantitation less than or equal to 20 pg/mL.
- Claim:
16. The method of claim 9, wherein said method has a limit of detection less than or equal to 10 pg/mL.
- Claim:
17. The method of claim 9, wherein said sample is a human plasma or serum sample.
- Claim:
18. The method of claim 9, wherein said ionization is atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) or electrospray ionization (ESI).
