  • Solution for dissociating vitamin D from vitamin-D binding protein, associated detection method and use
    Patent number: 11268968
    Abstract: A buffer solution includes methanol and the at least one fluoroalkyl surfactant selected from perfluorocarboxylic acids, perfluorosulfonic acids and their salts. A method for detecting and quantifying, in vitro, vitamin D and/or at least one vitamin D metabolite in a biological sample includes treating the sample by incorporating at least one fluoroalkyl surfactant and methanol so as to dissociate the vitamin D and/or its metabolite(s) to be detected from vitamin D binding protein; and detecting and quantifying vitamin D and/or at least one of its metabolites, in particular by immunoassay. A kit for detecting and quantifying vitamin D and/or at least one vitamin D metabolite by immunoassay and including the solution is provided.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 7, 2019
    Date of Patent: March 8, 2022
    Assignee: BIOMERIEUX
