Description

General description

Cortisol or hydrocortisone, also known as the stress hormone, is aglucocorticoid steroid. It is released by the adrenal glands and is involved inmaintaining the circadian rhythm. The hormone is measured in whole blood by LC-MS/MS for newborn screening of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) and in serum or plasma by LC-MS/MS for determination of several diseases including Cushing’s syndrome, Addison’s disease, and Sheehan’s syndrome.

Application

This Certified Reference Material (CRM) in solution can also be used as follows:

• Development of a disposable immunosensor based on direct competitive-enzyme linked immunoassay (DC-ELISA) to determine cortisol in human saliva samples
• Quantitative analysis of cortisol in human hair samples by a liquid-chromatography-tandem mass spectrometric (LC-MS/MS) method
• Selective and sensitive analysis of both cortisol and cortisone in human hair samples by an automated solid phase extraction (SPE) method combined with liquid chromatography (LC) coupled to electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS³)
• Multi-residue determination of cortisol, cortisone, and their three tetrahydro metabolites from human urine samples by an LC-MS/MS method
• Human saliva analysis for the estimation of cortisol and cortisone by ionic liquid dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (IL-DLLME) and liquid chromatography combined with ultra-violet/visible (UV/Vis) detection

Features and Benefits
