Description

General description

α-Tocopherol is a form of fat-soluble vitamin E and shows anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-cell proliferative, and anti-cancer properties. Often the result of poor nutrition or low absorption of dietary fat, its deficiency is monitored in patient serum samples by LC-MS/MS or HPLC.

Application

This Certified Spiking Solution^® is suitable for use in a variety of testing applications from diagnostic testing of Vitamin E deficiency to quality control testing of tocopherol-based dietary supplements or pharmaceutical preparations by HPLC or LC-MS/MS.The certified reference solution (CRM) in solution can also be used as follows:

• Simultaneous determination of vitamin A and all four tocopherol isomers in human serum samples by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) combined with fluorescence detection following their liquid-liquid extraction (LLE)
• Multi-residue analysis of vitamin B (B₁, B₂, B₅, and B₉), and vitamin E (α-tocopherol, β-tocopherol, α-tocotrienol, and β-tocotrienol) in grass and grain samples of four different wheat varieties by liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization/multistage mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS)
• Separation and estimation of four tocopherols and four tocotrienols in pecan nut cultivar samples using non-aqueous reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (NARP-HPLC) coupled with atmospheric pressure chemical ionization-tandem mass spectrometric (APCI-MS/MS) detection
• Analysis of different cold pressed oil samples to detect and quantify eight tocol- homologs using a chemometrically-assisted optimized high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with fluorescence detection (FLD) based method
• High-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) based combined analysis of retinol, α‐tocopherol, 25‐hydroxyvitamin D₂, and 25‐hydroxyvitamin in plasma samples of cardiovascular patients
