I froze the whole blood sample without separating them to serum and RBC by mistake. Is there any way to measure 25 hydroxy vitamin D in whole blood sample? If yes, is there any difference between the serum 25D and whole blood sample 25 D?
Yes, The D-Vital ID® dry-blood collection system showed an excellent performance as compared to the classical way of 25-OH vitamin D measurement from venous blood. This new technique will facilitate easy and reliable measurement for vitamin D status, in particular, in rural or isolated areas, developing countries, and field studies.
