A high-performance liquid chromatographic method for analysis of steroids in the tissue of laboratory animals is described. A two-stage solid extraction procedure, utilizing Sep-pak C18 and graphitized carbon black, gives a purified product. Steroids in this extract were separated by multistep gradient elution with a reversedphase liquid chromatography system, using acetonitrilewater as solvent. Several columns with different geometry and phase loading were investigated. Optimum resolution was obtained with a medium covered and spherical particle.The applicability of this method was successfully demonstrated in the analysis of the testis and adrenal gland of rat.
