Notes:
An HPLC method utilizing a UV and a fluorimetric detector linked in series is described. By use of a simple integrator-controlled time-switched relay, analysis of serum vitamin A and E is accomplished on the same chromatogram and at optimum sensitivity for each detector. A single internal standard (retinyl acetate) monitored only by the UV detector permits measurement of both vitamins over a wide linear range. Precision of the assays is satisfactory, both on a within-day and on a day-to-day basis. Recoveries of both vitamins are virtually 100% whilst sensitivity is 2 μg/L (retinol) and 0.05 mg/L (α-tocopherol).
