Product Focus - Vitamin D

Dec. 22, 2020

Vitamin D testing and the use of vitamin D supplements is commonplace in the United States. A common, though not universal, treatment goal for vitamin D supplementation is 25(OH)D level of ≥50 nmol/L or ≥20 ng/ml.

Vitamin D Assay

This Access 25(OH) Vitamin D Total assay detects 25(OH) vitamin D2 and 25(OH) vitamin D3, eliminating the need for multiple tests or sample reruns. The assay is aligned with the Ghent University 25(OH) standard and is scalable across all Beckman Coulter immunoassay analyzers.
