Mass Spectrometry – an Alternative in Growth Hormone Measurement

Obviously, MS is highly reliable if it is about the total amount of GH in the sample. At the same time, it does not, of course, resolve in what aggregation state (free, receptor-bound and dimerized, among others) the hormone is present.

I like the 'of course.' Adds a nice touch.

Growth hormone: isoforms, clinical aspects and assays interference - PMC

The measurement of circulating concentrations of growth hormone (GH) is an indispensable tool in the diagnosis of both GH deficiency and GH excess. GH is a heterogeneous protein composed of several molecular isoforms, but the physiological role of ...

Would be really interesting if they took GH samples without proper paperwork. That would be very surprising. And XMR probably out.

GH remains the most bizarrely regulated substance in US pharmacopeia/DEA scheduling. Since it's not technically a controlled substance, I am not surprised that it oddly falls into a category in which they can accept it for testing. Most of the restrictions regarding it fall under the bizarre prescription regulations that are specific to GH uniquely under US law.

Amen. It's a weird one.

Mass Spectrometry – an Alternative in Growth Hormone Measurement

Seems to me the only way for this to ever be possible domestic is someone to run a underground testing service.

The first one to get a proper HPLC machine And building up their own samples, because not only is it hard to require reference samples. They're going have to build a database from scratch.

Unless they're able to somehow convince the various chemical reference sellers to send them this samples.....

There's one based in Canada and they have every compound known to man in reference grade quality.

Unfortunately, only accessible with qualified labs with the proper paperwork.
