We applied various prepurification protocols (extraction with different solvents, liquid/solid separation on bonded silica media, Celite, and Sephadex LH20 chromatography) with a range of commercially available RIA kits to measure cortisol in urine samples. We then compared the results with the concentrations measured by a HPLC method validated with reference to isotope dilution gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. We conclude that chromatography on a commercial, prepacked diol minicolumn (Waters Sep-Pak Vac RC) in combination with dichloromethane extraction is a convenient and very effective purification step before RIA of urinary cortisol in patients not receiving corticoid medication. We tested numerous steroids for interference and found that free polar cortisol derivatives (hydroxylated or hydrogenated) could only partially account for the overestimations routinely encountered when free urinary cortisol concentrations are measured by direct RIA.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007692 Diatomaceous Earth A form of SILICON DIOXIDE composed of skeletons of prehistoric aquatic plants which is used for its ABSORPTION quality, taking up 1.5-4 times its weight in water. The microscopic sharp edges are useful for insect control but can also be an inhalation hazard. It has been used in baked goods and animal feed. Kieselguhr is German for flint + earthy sediment.

D011786 Quality Control A system for verifying and maintaining a desired level of quality in a product or process by careful planning, use of proper equipment, continued inspection, and corrective action as required. (Random House Unabridged Dictionary, 2d ed) Control, Quality,Controls, Quality,Quality Controls
D011863 Radioimmunoassay Classic quantitative assay for detection of antigen-antibody reactions using a radioactively labeled substance (radioligand) either directly or indirectly to measure the binding of the unlabeled substance to a specific antibody or other receptor system. Non-immunogenic substances (e.g., haptens) can be measured if coupled to larger carrier proteins (e.g., bovine gamma-globulin or human serum albumin) capable of inducing antibody formation. Radioimmunoassays

D002845 Chromatography Techniques used to separate mixtures of substances based on differences in the relative affinities of the substances for mobile and stationary phases. A mobile phase (fluid or gas) passes through a column containing a stationary phase of porous solid or liquid coated on a solid support. Usage is both analytical for small amounts and preparative for bulk amounts. Chromatographies
