Doping Control Sample Preparation

Equine Testing

Highlighted Applications

Equine urine samples can be difficult to handle. Urine, for example, has many endogenous interferences and particularly variable viscosity characteristics.

Sample clean up is very important in providing accurate, reliable identification and quantification of drugs and other doping agents. Biotage simple, robust sample preparation techniques are able to handle sample variability, and can be automated to improve productivity and performance.

Anabolic Steroids from Horse Urine

Anabolic steroids are used to increase muscle mass and enhance performance. These drugs have been linked to instances of doping in race horses. This application note describes the protocol for the extraction of ethylestrenol and stanozolol from horse urine prior to LC-MS/MS analysis.

Steroid Residues in Horse Hair

This application note describes the extraction of a range of endogenous and anabolic steroids and growth promoters in equine hair samples.
