Point-of-care | Quantitative Vitamin D test
The test is an immunochromatography-based one step in vitro test. It is designed for the quantitative determination of total 25-hydroxy Vitamin D (25-OH Vitamin D) in human finger-prick blood. This assay provides a preliminary diagnostic test result and can be used for screening of Vitamin D deficiency. VHC Vitamin-D Quantitative Vitamin D Test utilizes the principle of immunochromatography, a unique two-site “Sandwich” immunoassay on a membrane.
The liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) assays or other quantitative immunoassays are recommended to further confirm the diagnostic test results.
Performance characteristics
Sensitivity
The sensitivity of VHC Vitamin-D Quantitative Vitamin D Test is 3ng/ml (7.5nmol/l). The sensitivity was determined by calculating the mean plus 3.3 times of standard deviation of twenty Vitamin D-free serum tests.
Specificity
30 Vitamin D free serum samples were tested and all showed negative results; suggesting 100% specificity. No interference and cross reactivity was observed with Bilirubin, Triglycerides, Cholesterol, Vitamin B12 and Vitamin C.
