Abstract
A method for determining 17-hydroxyprogesterone in plasma by isotope dilution-mass spectrometry is described. For the internal standard 17-hydroxy[ 2H 4]progesterone is used. Extraction of plasma is followed by conversion into the 3,20-dienol,17-tristrimethylsilyl ether derivative and analysis by capillary gas chromatography—mass spectrometry with selected-ion monitoring, at a resolution of 6000. The lower limit of quantitation was 1 pg, judged from a criterion of a signal-to-noise ratio of 10. The precision and accuracy of the method were satisfactory.
