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.
