LC-MS analysis of vitamin D2/D3 in human plasma and serum

03/25/2015

Analysis and quantification of vitamin D2/D3 metabolites 25-hydroxyvitamin D2/D3 in two human patient plasma and serum samples via reversed phase LC-MS/MS.
Samples were prepared via simple protein precipitation and two internal standards 2H3-25-OH vitamin D2/D3 were utilized.
As complete elimination of endogenous levels of 25-OH Vitamin D2/D3 in human serum/plasma is impossible, deuterated 2H6-25-OH Vitamin D2/D3 were used.
Standard curves were created from standard samples where ratio of deuterated 25-OH vitamin D2/D3 and two internal standards 2H3-25-OH vitamin D2/D3 were plotted against ratio of concentrations of the same.
