Conclusion
We have developed and fully validated a simple, fast and
sensitive LC-APCI-MS/MS method for measurement of
E1 and E2 in serum/plasma without derivatization. The
LLOQ for E1 and E2 are 3.5 and 4.4 pg/mL, respectively.
The method was linear between 3.5 and 1019.3 pg/mL for
E1, and 4.4 and 1032.5 pg/mL for E2. No ion suppression
or carryover was observed. In addition, for clinical
research laboratories, this method offers high precision
and recovery.
