Description

6β-Hydroxyandrosterone (Available To Wada Laboratories Only) is a specific, high-purity steroid metabolite used as a critical reference standard in analytical and research settings. This compound is essential for laboratories requiring precise calibration and validation in the detection and quantification of steroid profiles. It is primarily utilized by anti-doping and forensic laboratories, such as WADA-accredited facilities, for method development and quality control in sports drug testing programs.

Application

• Reference Standard for Anti-Doping Analysis: Serves as a certified reference material (CRM) for the accurate identification and quantification of 6β-hydroxyandrosterone in human urine samples, a key marker in steroid profiling.
• Method Development & Validation: Used by WADA-accredited laboratories to develop, optimize, and validate liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) methods.
• Quality Control (QC) & Proficiency Testing: Employed in internal QC protocols and external proficiency testing schemes to ensure the accuracy and reliability of analytical results in sports drug testing.
• Metabolic Study Research: Acts as a precise biochemical tool in clinical and pharmacological research investigating steroid metabolism, biotransformation pathways, and endocrine function.
• Forensic Toxicology: Supports forensic investigations where the confirmation of specific steroid metabolites is required for legal and regulatory purposes.
