Liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) is a powerful tool that is changing the way we analyse steroids in the clinical laboratory. It offers positive compound identification to enable the unequivocal identification of a compound free from interference. LC–MS/MS is already opening up the field of steroid analysis in endocrinology and is providing new applications for individual steroids and panels of steroids in different clinical conditions. L...
