LC-MS Hormone Assays Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry

Krishna IVF equipped with State of Art technology, LCMS – Liquid Chromatography and Mass Spectrometry.

Hormonal assays of Reproductive Health by LCMS – Liquid Chromatography and Mass Spectrometry.

Liquid Chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS-MS) is a powerful Bio-analytical technique that combines the separating power of liquid chromatography with the highly sensitive and selective mass analysis capability of triple quadrupole mass spectrometry.

Proteomics of follicular fluid:

Follicular fluid (FF) provides nutrients for the development of oocytes. Follicular fluid proteins maintain the internal and external oocyte environment.These proteins play a key role in the process of embryo fertilization and development. FF is collected during the oocyte retrical for for in vitro fertilization (IVF). Changes in oocyte are based on the FF steroids, it reflects as ideal component to characterize the oocyte functionality and controlled ovarian hyperstimulation.

In the process of oocyte development, the oocyte is surrounded by this complex biological fluid. It is produced in growing antral follicles which include components such as polysaccharides, hormonal steroids, proteins, metabolites, reactive oxygen species, and antioxidants. The most proteins presented in the follicular fluid are translated during the oocyte maturation and stay in a dormant state until activated by sperm-egg binding. These proteins are mainly for the oocyte maturation and guard follicular cells from physical and oxidative damage. Proteomic analysis of FF is a method to acquire information about follicular development and oocyte quality.

Presently, the goal of proteomic research is to identify FF protein components and also to study their role in ovarian physiology and their approaches to IVF outcomes. Identification and quantification of follicular proteins may provide a better understanding of the biological processes underlying fertilization and oocyte development.

Utilizing LCMS to Enable the Analysis of Steroid Hormones in Serum for Reproductive Health

Steroid hormones play a major role in biochemical processes such as metabolism, immune function, inflammation, salt and water balance, development of sexual characteristics. Enzymes that are involved in the steroidal biosynthesis pathways are important in metabolic process may also be study by the analysis Steroid hormones.

Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) can provide analytically sensitive, accurate, and precise measurement of these steroid hormones.
