General description

This Certified Spiking Solution® is suitable for GC/MS and LC/MS applications from clinical and diagnostic testing and endocrinology to sports testing.

5α-Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is a steroid hormone and metabolite of the natural androgen, testosterone, formed by the action of NADPH-dependent enzyme 5α-reductase. It has been implicated in a broad range of diseases from male pattern baldness to benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer. As an anabolic steroid, DHT has also been used as a performance-enhancing drug to promote muscle growth.

Application

The Certified Reference Material (CRM) in solution can also be used as follows:
  • Simultaneous analysis of testosterone and 5α-dihydrotestosterone using a benchtop gas chromatograph-mass spectrophotometer (GC-MS) in human serum samples
  • Liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometric (LC/ESI-MS/MS) determination of testosterone and 5α-dihydrotestosterone following their proton affinitive derivatization using picolinic acid and its analogs
  • Determination of testosterone and 5α-dihydrotestosterone in plasma and testis samples of fathead minnow by a gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometric (GC-MS/MS) method
  • Multi-residue screening of epitestosterone, testosterone, 5α-dihydrotestosterone, dehydroepiandrosterone, androsterone, and etiocholanolone in urine samples by high-resolution full scan-electrospray ionization-liquid chromatography (HR-FS-ESI-LC) combined with quadrupole orbitrap mass spectrometer (Q/Orbitrap MS) following requirements of World Antidoping Agency (WADA)
  • Quantitative analysis of nine hydroxy-androgens and their conjugates by a stable isotope dilution liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (SID-LC-ESI-MS/MS) based method following their derivatization using picolinic acid

Features and Benefits

  • Fully characterized under ISO/IEC 17025 and ISO 17034 accreditation
  • Accompanied with a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (CoA) with data on stability, homogeneity, accuracy of concentration, uncertainty, and traceability
  • Rigorously tested through real-time stability studies to ensure accuracy and shelf life
  • Gravimetrically prepared using qualified precision balances to ensure minimal uncertainty
  • Flame sealed under argon into ampoules for long-term shelf life
  • Offered in a convenient, DEA-exempt format to improve laboratory efficiency

Questions

1–5 of 5 Questions  

  1. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer

    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.

  2. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer

    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf

  3. Does this DHT cross react between humans and mice? cat #: D-073-1ML

    1 answer

    1. DHT exhibits cross-reactivity between humans and mice, but biological effects and responses may differ due to species-specific differences. This product is an analytical standard and is not intended for animal studies.

  4. Is this suitable for cell culture?

    1 answer

    1. This product is prepared in methanol, which would be toxic to cells. Currently, there is no cell culture tested product option available. However, product A8380, the powder form, has been used successfully in cell culture applications. Please see the link below to review this product. Note the Peer Reviewed Papers section lists a number of applicable publications.

  5. hi, am I right in thinking that D-073 arrives in 1mL vials and they are to be stored long term at -70C. We only have -80C freezers, do you see that as a problem?

    1 answer

    1. The product COA (https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/certificates/Graphics/COfAInfo/fluka/pdf/cer/D-073_FE02172263.pdf) indicates on page 10 that it is okay to store this material for long term stability at -60C to -80C, so the indicated freezer/temperature should be fine.
