Vitamins A and E

This assay enables the simultaneous quantitative determination of vitamin A (retinol) and vitamin E (α-tocopherol) in human serum or plasma samples by HPLC. The fast and easy sample preparation can be performed with reaction vials or 96 deep well plates. The analytes are released from their transport protein or lipoproteins by precipitation. Subsequently, the substances are chromatographically separated in one isocratic HPLC run and quantified using a UV detector.

  • Assay validated according to IVDR
  • Short run time of less than 3 minutes
  • Optimised precipitation
  • No cooling of eluates – no cooled autosampler necessary
  • No precolumn required
  • No UHPLC needed
