Abstract: | The method used at LGC for analysis of “total” 19-norandrosterone (19-norandrosterone glucuronide plus “free” 19-norandrosterone)
in urine for the Comité Consultatif pour la Quantité de Matière Pilot Study (CCQM-P68) is described. The analytical method
used was a modified version of the method developed at the National Measurement Institute of Australia, which used a hydrolysis
and derivatisation procedure first described by the German Sports University. This method is routinely used by World Anti-Doping
Agency-accredited laboratories for sports drug testing. The main modifications made to the method were the use of 19-norandrosterone
glucuronide as a calibration standard and 19-norandrosterone glucuronide-d4 as an isotopically labelled internal standard,
and the use of a bench-top quadrupole gas chromatograph–mass spectrometer. The results produced by LGC (2.14 ± 0.15 ng g−1 expanded uncertainty, coverage factor k = 2) were in excellent agreement with those from other participating national metrology institutes and thus further validates
the exact-matching isotope-dilution mass spectrometric procedures used at LGC for a wide range of reference measurement applications,
including measurement of ng g−1 levels of steroids in a biological matrix. |
