Serum total vitamin B12 (TB12) measurement is the recommended first-line test but the result can be misleading because of method biases approaching 30% and the presence of different circulating forms of this vitamin. Approximately 80% of vitamin B12 in blood is bound in inert complexes with ...
A method for measurement of serum b12level using radioisotope dilution and charcoal coated with albumin or hemoglobin is presented. Its advantages over previously described radioisotopic methods and the classical bioassay procedure are greater simplicity, rapidity and reproducibility. The sensitivity range ap...
The proposed procedure is especially suitable for the measurement of B12 in blood serum because rise in pH and precipitation of serum proteins during incubation are minimized. Like bacillaris. the z strain allows the distinction between "combined" and "uncombined" B12 in serum. Serum may be an...
Radioactive vitamin B12 absorption studies: results of direct measurement of radioactivity in the blood. A physiological test dose of 0.46 µg. vitamin B12 labelled with 60Co (0.5 µC.) was given by mouth after an overnight fast and 2 hr. before breakfast... A Doscherholmen,PS Hagen...
CobaSorb, a New Non-Radioactive Vitamin B12 Absorption Test. Non-fasting blood samples were collected on days 1 to 5 before administration of vitamin B12 and in the morning day 8. Plasma cobalamins were assayed on the Advia Centaur (Bayer A/S, Germany), and holoTC was measured by an in...

The lab processes the sample and sends out the report in less than 48 hours time. However, some time it may take 72 hours for the report to be released. What is the testing methodology / procedure employed? Chemiluminescence immunoassay C.L.I.A What are the units of measurement? pg / ...
First, the circulating folate and vitamin B12 levels were based on a single serum measurement, which may not accurately reflect the long-term status. Second, covariates collected at baseline may change over time, which may attenuate the true association of serum folate and vitamin B12 levels with...
Serum samples were collected into vacutainer tubes containing EDTA, during routine blood sample taking for the measurement of vitamin B12 and other biochemical parameters and were centrifuged at 1500 g × 10 min after sampling. Then, serum samples were portioned and stored at -80 °C in the ...
doxycycline and a bolus of vitamin B12as shown in the schematic. Met levels were measured in the indicated serum samples by mass spectrometry. Onlyn = 4 WT (day 0) and OSKM (day 6) mice are represented, as the blood volume was insufficient. Welch’s two-samplet-test was used to...
