Measurement of 25-Hydroxyvitamin D Revisited [PDF]

Clinical Chemistry, 2006
A notable shortcoming of the HPLC method for measuring 25-hydroxyvitamin D described by Lensmeyer et al. (1) is its failure to adequately remove interference by the C3-epimer. Although the authors dismiss this because the interference was less than the lowest limit of quantification, this would not be true in some samples collected from children >1 ...
