Steroids, vitamin D and oxysterols are all part of a group of compounds called lipids, which are generally important in the function of the human body and in many cases the monitoring of these analytes can be of high value. Therefore, the development of a sensitive and universal method, suitable for the simultaneous analysis of these compounds, is of a great importance. In this study, the goal was to develop and test new mass spectrometry based methods for analyzing steroids, vitamin D and oxysterols. First, the feasibility of capillary liquid chromatography-microchip atmospheric pressure photoionization-tandem mass spectrometry was examined for the analysis of anabolic steroids in human urine. The results show that this microchip based m...
