Rapid Extraction and Analysis of Steroid Hormones from Sediments by QuEChERS and LC-MS/MS (TN-0096)

Abstract:

Described is a modified version of the QuEChERS method to extract natural and synthetic hormones from marine and river sediment samples followed by Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC/MS/ MS) analysis. The result is a rapid, simple, and efficient extraction and analysis of several steroid hormone contaminants with reporting limits in the low ng/g range. The use of the modified extraction and clean up method resulted in higher sample throughput, faster extraction times, and greatly reduced solvent consumption compared to conventional solid matrix extraction methods.
