A Sensitive Liquid Chromatography–Tandem Mass Spectrometry Method for the Measurement of Nestorone in Human Serum

HybridSPE® Extraction
- Nestorone® (NES) is a synthetic progestin being developed by Population Council and NICHD for female and male contraception.
- NES does not bind to the androgen or the estrogen receptor and may have less adverse effects than androgenic progestin commonly used for female contraception.
- NES was previously measured in serum by radioimmunoassay that has non specific interference leading to detectable NES levels in men when no NES was administered.
- This objective of this study was to develop and validate a highly sensitive LC MS/MS method for the detection of serum Nestorone levels for research and clinical purposes in men.
Protein Precipitation | Serum Sample + I.S. + ACN with 1% Formic Acid Vortex & Centrifuge (for increased efficiency use Tip-on-Tip) Transfer supernatant |
Condition | Aspirate and dispense HybridSPE- XTR Tips with 1000 μL acetonitrile |
Extraction | Aspirate and dispense the supernatant 2x with HybridSPE- XTR Tips to bind interferents to sorbent Transfer remaining clean sample to a new glass vial |
Prep for injection | Dry down the extracted samples Reconstitute with 40% MeOH in 0.1% formic acid H2O for the analysis |
You can automate this method with Tip-on-Tip for protein precipitation and a HybridSPE XTR tip format for an automated liquid handler.
