Quantification of Insulin Like Growth Factor-I by LC-MS.

We describe three methods of sample preparation for the liquid chromatography coupled mass spectrometric measurement of insulin like growth factor-I concentration in blood. One method involves trypsin digestion, one involves intact protein quantification and the third method is a combination of the two. Step by step directions are provided for sample collection and handling including transport, storage conditions as well as detailed instructions for preparation for analysis, which can be modified for larger or smaller sample volumes as needed. A fully 15 N-labelled internal standard is used and the merits of a single point calibrator discussed. Example instrumental conditions are presented for both intact and digest methods.
