Improving detection of anabolic steroids: new screening based on the direct analysis of phase II metabolites using LC-Q-HRMS

Resource description

Project Title: Improving detection of anabolic steroids: new screening based on the direct analysis of phase II metabolites using LC-Q-HRMS

Researchers: Rosa Ventura, Georgina Balcells Aribau, Oscar Pozo Mendoza, Núria Monfort Mercader, Xavier Matabosch Geronés (Fundació IMIM, Barcelona, Spain), Rodrigo Aguilera (Madrid Anti-Doping Laboratory, Spain)

Year accepted: 2015

Summary: The hypothesis of the project is that significant information is missed in current AAS screening methods and the aim of the project is to develop a screening method based on the direct detection of the metabolites excreted in the urine, including phase II metabolites (glucuronides and sulfates) and relevant unconjugated metabolites using liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry with high resolution instruments.
