A method for the quantitation of pg/ml levels of 17946;-estradiol and 17946;-trenbolone in bovine serum by gas chromatography/electron-capture mass spectrometry has been developed and validated. Using the area ratios of the integrated molecular-ion peaks of the analytes to their corresponding deuterated internal standards, [2,4,16,16-2H4] 17946;-estradiol (17946;-estradiol-d4) and [16,16-2H2] 17946;-trenbolone (17946;-trenbolone-d2), and non-weighted linear regression, two calibration curves per analyte; 5–50 and 50–500pg/ml for 17946;-estradiol in sera, and 25–250 and 250–2500pg/ml for 17946;-trenbolone in sera, respectively, were constructed. Splitless injection of 200fg 17946;-estradiol and 1000fg 17946;-trenbolone could be detected and quantified. Tested batches of control bovine sera did not exhibit interference for 17946;-trenbolone, and showed expected background presence of endogenous 17946;-estradiol. Intra-day residual errors did not exceed 20 % , and regression correlations were greater than 0.99. Intra-day precision data was similar to inter-day precision data. Using this method, 16 samples can be processed within one working day.
