Conclusion
A fast, sensitive and reliable LC-MS/MS SRM method has
been developed for the determination of testosterone in
serum. Sample analysis was performed with a run time
of 7 minutes with a quantitation limit of 11 ng/dL and
a linearity range of 11-2000 ng/dL. The low intra-assay
and inter-assay variability of the results demonstrates the
reliability of the method for research laboratories.
