1α,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 solution

1α,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 is a biologically active form of vitamin D3 in calcium absorption and deposition. It has widespread effects on cellular differentiation and proliferation, and can modulate immune responsiveness, and central nervous system function. Recent studies suggest that 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 acts as a chemopreventive agent against several malignancies including cancers of the prostate and colon and shows synergy with other anticancer compounds.

A Certified Spiking Solution^® suitable for critical quantitative applications in research and clinical environments including: for use in preparation of controls and calibrators for LC/UV and LC-MS/MS Vitamin D assays; as system tuning/suitability standards; linearity verification; internal proficiency testing; and for OEM use in preparation of reagents, development of assays and instrument IQ/OQ. The stable, quantitative solution format provides significant benefits to the user including material savings, increased efficiency of labor, and convenience of use. The shelf stable Snap-N-Spike^® format allows laboratories to eliminate painstaking weighing operations and provides the ability to spike a known concentration of analyte into their matrix of choice just before use.

1α,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 may be used as a certified reference material for the determination of the analyte in biological fluids by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.
