LC-MS/MS Hormone Testing

Meaning

LC-MS/MS Hormone Testing, or Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry, is a gold-standard analytical technique utilized in clinical laboratories for the precise and highly sensitive quantification of hormones in biological fluids. This advanced method is capable of accurately measuring low-concentration steroid and peptide hormones, overcoming the specificity and interference limitations of older immunoassay methods. It provides clinicians with superior accuracy for assessing complex endocrine profiles, particularly in low-level ranges or when monitoring multiple related hormones simultaneously.
