Determination of Vitamins D2 and D3 in Pharmaceuticals by Gas-Liquid Chromatography
Keyword(s):
Abstract A method is described for determining vitamin D in multivitamin preparations; in the method, vitamins D2 and D3 are isomerized with antimony trichloride and separated by GLC. Vitamins D,2 and D3 are differentiated and measured separately and one vitamin may be used as an internal standard for the other. Vitamin A is largely removed by partition chromatography but can be tolerated in the final dilution in a ratio of 1:1 with vitamin D. When the method was used for the assay of multivitamin preparations, the coefficient of variation was 3.2%.
