Single-laboratory validation of a method for the determination of vitamin D3 in dietary supplements by liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS).

A single-laboratory validation (SLV) for the analysis of vitamin D3 was performed in four types of dietary supplements (capsules, soft gels, syrups, and tablets) using LC-MS/MS. Samples were treated by alkaline saponification for oil-based soft gels and utilized EDTA solution for capsules, syrups, and tablets prior to n-hexane extraction. Vitamin D3 in sample extracts was separated on a reversed-phase C18 column (100 x 2.
