MassTrak Steroid Serum IVD Sets
Ensure accurate steroid measurements for your clinical tests
Quantification of steroids is more beneficial using LC-MS/MS, as opposed to traditional ligand binding techniques such as immunoassay, as it enables simultaneous quantification of multiple analytes, while providing higher analytical sensitivity and selectivity over an extended measuring range to support samples from various patient cohorts.
The MassTrak Steroid Serum Sets comprise of metrologically traceable IVD* steroid calibrators and controls, as well internal standards and optimization mix in an easy-to-use format to save your laboratory time and resources spent on preparing these in house.
*The MassTrak Steroid Serum Cal Set 2 and 3, MassTrak Steroid Serum QC Set 2 and 3, MassTrak Steroid Internal Standard Mix, MassTrak Steroid Optimization Mix are IVDR (EU) compliant.
The MassTrak Steroid Serum Cal Set 1 and MassTrak Steroid Serum QC Set 1, currently in distribution, are IVDD compliant. These will be changed over to IVDR compliant products upon inventory depletion. Under IVDD, The MassTrak Steroid Serum Cal Set 1 and MassTrak Steroid Serum QC Set 1 were formerly called MassTrak Endocrine Steroid Calibrator Set and MassTrak Endocrine Steroid Quality Control Set.
MassTrak Steroid Serum IVD Sets

Specifications
Overview
- MassTrak Steroid Serum Sets contain a comprehensive list of IVD standards needed for LDT development – calibrators, quality controls, internal standards, and optimization mix, saving up to three months of resource time to complete the full production process of similar standards in house
- NIST CRM and reference measurement (Ghent/Rfb) traceable calibrators and quality controls, each sourced from different CRM*, help in your laboratory’s compliance to ISO 15189 and CLSI C62-A
- 3 separate analyte panels (containing 12, 4, and 5 steroid hormones respectively) are available so your laboratory can analyze only analytes that are requested and meet turnaround time expectations
- Broad calibrator concentration ranges, wider than known reference ranges**
- High lot-to-lot manufacturing and value assignment consistency enables excellent LCMS method performance in peer lab comparison (<10% bias from EQA ALTM achieved during in-house testing)
- 3x longer in-use stability at 2–8 °C for calibrators and controls, compared to similar products by known competitors, enables consumption of this product over an extended period of time
**Source for reference range: Tietz Textbook of Clinical Chemistry & Molecular Diagnostics
Recommended Use: For quantitative determination of steroids in human serum.
