| dc.description.abstract | The quantification of steroid hormones, such as es-tradiol and ethinylestradiol, in plasma requires sensi-tive and reliable analytical methodologies1. This study presents the optimization of a bioanalytical method based on Solid-Phase Extraction (SPE) coupled with High-Performance Liquid Chromatography with Flu-orescence Detection (HPLC-FLD). For sample ex-traction, Strata-X (polymeric reversed-phase) cartridg-es were used, where critical SPE parameters, including cartridge conditioning, matrix washing, and analyte elution, were evaluated. Chromatographic separation was achieved on a C18 stationary phase using a mobile phase of acetonitrile and 0.1% formic acid in ultrapure water. Both isocratic and gradient elution programs were tested to maximize resolution and peak shape. The method was validated for linearity, recovery, and precision (intra- and inter-day), meeting all established criteria for bioanalytical applications. This combined optimization resulted in improved selectivity and sen-sitivity for the determination of estradiol and ethinyl-estradiol in plasma (Figure 1), demonstrating a robust bioanalytical tool for monitoring these compounds in complex biological matrices. | eng |
