Popis: Background: Despite its clear advantages over immunoassay-based testing, the measurement of serum thyroglobulin by mass spectrometry remains limited to a handful of institutions. Slow adoption by clinical laboratories could reflect limited accessibility to existing methods that have sensitivity comparable to modern immunoassays, as well as a lack of tools for calibration and assay harmonization. Methods: We developed and validated a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry-based assay for the quantification of serum thyroglobulin. The protocol combined peptide immunoaffinity purification using a commercially available, well-characterized monoclonal antibody and mobile phase modification with dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) for enhanced sensitivity. To facilitate harmonization with other laboratories, we developed a novel, serum-based 5-point distributable reference material (Husky Ref). Results: The assay demonstrated a lower limit of quantification of 0.15 ng/mL (
