The Biocrates® Vitamin D Kit provides ready-to-use components for a LC-MS/MS-based assay and enables the quantitative measurement of 25-hydroxyvitamin D2 and 25-hydroxyvitamin D3.
The inability to differentiate between 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 and 25-hydroxyvitamin D2 is the main drawback of immune-based techniques. The separate measurements are useful for both, clinical and research purposes. Moreover, the cross reactivity with other non targeted vitamin D metabolites can only be accounted statistically. It was found that an immunoassay overestimates 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 and underestimates 25-hydroxyvitamin D2 concentrations. For this reasons, LC-MS/MS based methods for the quantitation of total 25-hydroxyvitamin D replaced IAs in many laboratories and became the “golden standard”.
