The growing availability of liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS-MS) instruments to life science researchers has sparked an exponential flurry of efforts to discover new possibilities for the detection and quantitation of anabolic steroids in a wide variety of samples. Of all the directions and applications that have been explored to date, the area of greatest potential impact on science focuses on natural androgens in human samples, as opposed to synthetic anabolic steroids or animal samples.
