Method and test kit for quantitative determination of Vitamin D metabolites in blood, wherein a predetermined amount of blood is pre-analytically immobilized on a solid sorption material. Thereby, hemolysis of the blood has no effect on the analysis of vitamin D metabolites. For quantitative analysi...
