Overview

Standard testosterone tests use immunoassay methods which can sometimes cross-react with other hormones. LCMS first separates testosterone from everything else in your blood, then identifies and measures it based on its molecular structure. This produces results with accuracy typically within 2 to 3 percent.

Symptoms

Recommended when standard immunoassay results have been borderline or inconsistent, for women requiring precise testosterone measurement at lower concentrations, for monitoring hormone replacement therapy, or when medications may interfere with standard testing.

Questions

  • LCMS physically separates testosterone from other molecules before measuring it, eliminating cross-reactivity.
  • LCMS is useful when previous results were borderline or inconsistent, for women's testing, when taking medications that may interfere, or when monitoring therapy.
  • Yes, due to specialised equipment. The added precision is most valuable when accuracy affects treatment decisions.
  • LCMS accuracy is typically within 2 to 3 percent, compared to immunoassays which can vary by 10 to 20 percent.
  • Yes. LCMS has better sensitivity at low concentrations, making it particularly useful for women's testing.
  • Similar to standard testing. Avoid biotin supplements for three days before.

How to prepare

Morning collection between 7 and 10 AM. No fasting required. Avoid biotin supplements for three days before testing.

After the test

Discuss your LCMS results with your healthcare provider, who can use the precise measurement to inform decisions about hormone management.

Your test results will be available in your private dashboard. If there are any urgent issues, we'll let you know so you can follow up with your health professional.

Understanding results

Reference ranges are the same as for standard testosterone testing but with greater confidence in accuracy. If your LCMS result differs significantly from a previous immunoassay result, the LCMS measurement is generally considered more reliable.

Simple health checks in my control

I didn't know that private blood tests were an option. Tried this platform as the packages suited what I wanted for a good price. Easy to follow instructions, and super quick results. Platform provides more information than my gp's ever have on the tests and what the results meant. Would like more clinics to be able to test at (specifically Capital Pathology) but there is a decent network. Will continue to use.

If your test needs fasting, we’ll include that in your instructions after you order. Fasting usually means no food for 8–12 hours, but water is fine.

Just your pathology referral form (we email it to you)
