Cortisol selectively labelled with 2 H at the 19‐methyl and the C‐1 position (cortisol‐ d 5 ) was synthesized and used as an internal standard in stable isotope dilution mass spectrometry in order to determine cortisol in human plasma. A capillary gas chromatographic/mass spectrometric method provided a sensitive and reliable technique with good accuracy, precision and reproducibility without complex corrections for contributions by using cortisol‐ d 5 ( m / z 605 and 610, respectively). The sensitivity of the gas chromatographic/mass spectrometric assay was 1.02 ng per injection, with a signal‐to‐noise ratio of about 6. The inter‐ and intra‐assay coefficients of variation for plasma sample were 3.07% and 1.77%, respectively.
