Product Name | 25-OH Vitamin D ELISA |
Description | The Eagle Biosciences 25-OH Vitamin D ELISA assay kit is designed for the serological determination of the vitamin D concentration in the human organism types of vitamin D that are differentiated are vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) that is contained in plant food (mushrooms, avocado) and vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) that is produced from 7-dehydrocholesterol in the skin under ultra-violet irradiation or found in animal food or products (sea fish, egg yolk, butter) [1, 2, 3, 4]. These two forms of vitamin D, which are not yet biologically active, are bound by a protein called VDBP (vitamin D binding protein) in the bloodstream, then metabolised in the liver and converted into 25-OH vitamin D2 (calcidiol) and 25-OH vitamin D3 (calcitriol), respectively, which are storage forms of the vitamin with little activity [1]. In contrast to other commercially available tests, the Eagle Biosciences 25-OH Vitamin D ELISA assay kit uses a newly designed monoclonal antibody which is specific for both vitamin D2 and vitamin D3 at 100% specificity. This is necessary because sometimes vitamin D2 instead of D3 is used in therapy [5, 6, 7]. Sample types: serum, plasma. Range: 4 - 120 ng/mL. Sensitivity: 1.9 ng/mL. Incubation time: 2 hours 45 minutes |
