JF - Journal of Chromatography A VL - 1543 Y1 - 2018/// N2 - Sorbents were prepared by cross-linking β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) using two different types of cross-linker units at variable reactant mole ratios. The resulting polymers containing β-CD were evaluated as sorbents in micro-solid phase extraction (μ-SPE) format for the extraction of the endogenous steroids testosterone (T), epitestosterone (E), androsterone (A), etiocholanolone (Etio), 5α-androstane-3α,17β-diol (5αAdiol) and 5β-androstane-3α,17β-diol (5βAdiol). The best sorbent (C1; cyclodextrin polymer) showed superior extraction characteristics compared with commercial sorbents (C18 and Bond Elut Plexa). Parameters influencing the extraction efficiency of the C1 sorbent such as extraction and desorption times, desorption solvent and volume of sample were investigated. The extracts were separated using a Hypersil Gold column (50 Ã? 2.1 mm, 1.9 μm) under gradient elution coupled to a LCâ??MS/MS. The compounds were successfully separated within 8 min. The method offers good repeatability (RSD < 10) and linearity (r2 > 0.995) were within the range of 1â??200 ng mLâ??1 for T and E, 250â??4000 ng mLâ??1 for A and Etio and 25â??500 ng mLâ??1 for 5αAdiol and 5βAdiol, respectively. The method was applied for the determination of steroid profile of urine from volunteers. © 2018 Elsevier B.V.
