Abstract

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), in collaboration with the National Institutes of Health, Office of Dietary Supplements (NIH-ODS) and the Vitamin D Standardization Program (VDSP), has recently issued a new serum-matrix Standard Reference Material (SRM), SRM 2973 Vitamin D Metabolites in Frozen Human Serum (High Level). SRM 2973 was designed to provide a serum material with a total 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentration near 100 nmol/L to complement the existing serum-based SRMs with values assigned for total 25(OH)D between 20 nmol/L to 80 nmol/L. Values were assigned for 25-hydroxyvitamin D2 [25(OH)D2], 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 [25(OH)D3], 3-epi-25(OH)D3, and total 25(OH)D3 [sum of 25(OH)D2 + 25(OH)D3] using the NIST liquid chromatography - tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) reference measurement procedure (RMP) and related methods. SRM 2973 has a certified value of 98.4 ± 2.1 nmol/L for 25(OH)D3 and reference values of 1.59 ± 0.05 nmol/L for 25(OH)D2 and 5.23 ± 0.20 nmol/L for 3-epi-25(OH)D3. In addition, a candidate RMP for 24R,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [24R,25(OH)2D3] based on LC-MS/MS was used to assign values to SRM 2973 and the existing SRM 972a Vitamin D Metabolites in Frozen Human Serum. Reference values for 24R,25(OH)2D3 were assigned to SRM 2973 (7.51 nmol/L ± 0.26 nmol/L) and SRM 972a Level 1 (6.38 nmol/L ± 0.23 nmol/L), Level 2 (3.39 nmol/L ± 0.12 nmol/L), Level 3 (3.88 nmol/L ± 0.013 nmol/L), and Level 4 (6.32 nmol/L ± 0.22 nmol/L). These two SRMs are the first serum-based certified reference materials with values assigned for concentrations of 24R,25(OH)2D3.
