Application de la spectrométrie de masse en exploration hormonale

We emphasize the interest of MS, which broadens biologists' area of activity, since it provides them with access to new steroid assays, and, as a consequence, to pathologies previously reserved to very specialized laboratories, for example, for 21-deoxycortisol, 11-deoxycorticosterone, 11-deoxycortisol, androstenediol, pregnenolone and 17-OH-pregnenolone. Finally, by yielding more accurate results, the use of MS should allow improvement in comparison of results among laboratories.
