title: An improved assay method for serum vitamins A and E using fluorometry.
abstract: A micromethod for assay of serum vitamins A and E with the use of fluorometry is described. The procedure is a modification of previously described methods eliminating two potentially hazardous reagents, hexane and lithium aluminum hydride, as major components. Comparison with previous methods using n-hexane shows good agreement, as well as satisfactory precision.
