Analyse vitamins and micronutrients in
human serum
Validated HPLC method for the sample preparation and analysis of fat-soluble vitamins and related micronutrients in human serum
Drawing upon its experience in electrochemical detection for liquid chromatography, ESA has developed a validated HPLC method for the sample preparation and analysis of fat-soluble vitamins and related micronutrients in human serum This method can be used to simultaneous determine fat soluble vitamins including retinol (vitamin A), retinyl palmitate, vitamin E, beta-carotene, lutein, lycopene and CoQ10 at the nanogram level using the ESA CoulArray HPLC system
