Methodology
HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography)
The test is performed using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). This is considered the gold standard methodology for measuring vitamins and other small molecules in biological samples. The process involves:
* Extraction and Separation: The serum sample is processed to extract Vitamin A, which is then injected into the HPLC system.
* Chromatographic Separation: The system separates Vitamin A from other compounds in the sample based on its chemical properties.
* Detection and Quantification: A detector precisely measures the separated Vitamin A. The resulting data is then analyzed to determine the exact concentration of Vitamin A in the sample.
HPLC is a highly specific and accurate technique, essential for differentiating Vitamin A from other similar compounds, thus providing a definitive and reliable result.
Sample Required
SERUM (1ML)
* SERUM (1ML): A minimum of 1 milliliter of blood serum is required for the analysis. The blood is collected via a standard venipuncture, and the serum is then separated from the cellular components for testing. The sample is handled with care to protect it from light, as Vitamin A is light-sensitive and can degrade.
Preparation
#1) Fasting is Required: You must fast for 12 hours before the blood collection. This is essential to ensure that recent food intake, especially fat-rich meals, does not interfere with the test result... Read more
