After you filter, please confirm that your filter does not absorb vitamin A which is very hyrophobic. The filter will behave like the C18 SPE in the 100% aquous and may be absorb your analytes. I am working with vitamin A and related compounds. Even at 80% ethanol 20% water, filter can absorb the analyte. Nyylon is the worst, PVDF is the least. My recommendation is using centrifuge, if possible to eliminat the binding at the filter media.
