title: Group fractionation of free and conjugated steroids by means of disposable silica-based anion-exchange columns.
abstract: Adsorption and desorption modes have been elaborated which allow the separation of complex steroid mixtures of biological fluids into an unconjugated, a glucuronic acid conjugated and a sulphuric acid and mixed conjugated fraction. Capillary gas chromatographic analysis of the fractions obtained provides "total steroid profiles" of urine, blood, ovarian follicle fluid and amniotic fluid.
