25-OH Vitamin D ELISA Kit (25-Hydroxyvitamin D)

INTENDED USE

Human 25-OH vitamin D ELISA kit is a reliable quantitative procedure for measuring 25OH vitamin D (25-OH vitamin D, 25-hydroxyvitamin D2 and 25-hydroxyvitamin D3) in human serum. This assay has a sensitivity detection limit of 2.81 ng/ml.

BACKGROUND

Vitamin D is generic name used to describe; vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol l) and vitamin D3 (or cholecalciferol). These are a group of fat-soluble secosteroids that function in intestinal absorption of iron, zinc, magnesium, calcium and phosphate. Humans can naturally produce vitamin D3 when their skin is exposed to ultraviolet sun rays, it is synthesised in the skin using the cholesterol precursor 7-dehydrocholesterol. On the other hand, vitamin D2 is a synthetic product and can be predominately found as an additive in certain food for example milk.

The measurement of circulating 25-OH vitamin D has been used to provide the patients status of vitamin D and in diagnosing hypovitaminosis.
