Evaluating Tecan's Steroid Panel LC-MS kit for endocrine diagnostics

12 Nov 2024

Steroid hormones are strongly associated with endocrine disorders like adrenal insufficiency, Cushing’s syndrome, and congenital adrenal hyperplasia. Steroid testing has become an integral part of diagnostic procedures and is recommended by many clinical practice guidelines.

A comparative study by the Children’s Hospital in Erlangen evaluated their in-house method against the commercially available Tecan CE-IVDD Steroid Panel LC-MS kit (Ref# 30191875*), confirming the precision and reliability of the latter.

The kit’s capacity to measure 17 steroid hormones and dexamethasone, including DHT and 17-OH-Pregnenolone, expands its diagnostic utility, providing deeper insights into patient hormone levels and improving clinical decision-making.
