Intended Use
The Diazyme 25-hydroxy Vitamin D Assay is designed for the
quantification of total 25-hydroxy Vitamin D in human serum and
plasma. The assay results are to be used in parallel with other clinical data to assess the Vitamin D status of a patient. For investigational use only in the USA.
Clinical Significance
The assay is based on the principle of α-complementation of the
enzyme β-galactosidase and the competition between an enzyme
donor-25-hydroxy Vitamin D conjugate, Vitamin D binding protein and the 25-hydroxy Vitamin D content of a serum sample.
Samples with higher 25-hydroxy Vitamin D concentrations produce higher β-galactosidase activities and vice versa. Chlorophenol red-β-D- galactopyranoside (CPRG) is used as the enzyme
substrate and the accumulation of the reaction's product (chlorophenol red) is monitored at 560 nm. The 25-hydroxy Vitamin D
concentration of a patient sample is proportional to the measured
β-galactosidase activity. The assay consists of a sample extraction
step during which Vitamin D is irreversibly dissociated from its
serum transporter. Extracted samples are then analyzed on a microplate reader after the sequential addition of three reagents. Unlike most microplate-based assays, the Diazyme assay does not
require tedious washing steps between reagents. The whole assay
procedure takes about 2 hours.
Materials Required but not Provided
1. Six level calibrators (DZ688A-CAL): Human serum containing
specific amounts of 25-hydroxy Vitamin D. Calibrators are
supplied in aliquots of 1.0 mL. The exact concentration (ng/mL)
of each calibrator is indicated on the included certificate of
analysis. 6 x 1 mL vials are provided per kit.
2. Two Level controls (DZ688A-CON): Human serum containing
specific amounts of 25-hydroxy Vitamin D. Controls are supplied in aliquots of 1.0 mL. Control level 1 has a concentration
of 25-OH Vitamin D that corresponds to a deficient patient.
Control level 2 has a concentration of Vitamin D that corresponds to a normal patient. 2 x 1 mL vials are provided per kit.
3. Flat-head Vortex mixer, micro pipettes.
Vitamin D is a steroid hormone involved in the active intestinal
absorption of calcium and in the regulation of its homeostasis.
Vitamin D has two isomers: Vitamin D2 and Vitamin D3. Vitamin
D2 is obtained from dairy products whereas Vitamin D3 is produced in the skin after exposure to ultraviolet light. In the liver,
Vitamin D is hydroxylated at its carbon 25 to form 25-hydroxy
Vitamin D. This metabolite is the predominant circulating form of
Vitamin D and is considered to be an accurate indicator of the
general Vitamin D status of an individual. Vitamin D deficiency
has been linked to many diseases including osteoporosis, rickets,
osteomalacia, cancers, and cardiovascular diseases. Both dietary
supplements of Vitamin D that are currently available in the market (Vitamin D2 and Vitamin D3) are converted to 25-hydroxy
Vitamin D in the liver. The sum of the concentrations of 25hydroxy Vitamin D2 and 25-hydroxy Vitamin D3, in serum or
plasma, is referred to as “Total 25-hydroxy Vitamin D”. Accurate
monitoring of total 25-hydroxy Vitamin D (25-OH) level is critical
in clinical settings. Vitamin D deficient patients who are prescribed a daily Vitamin D supplement should regularly monitor
their serum or plasma Vitamin D levels in order to reach an optimal level and prevent their 25-hydroxy Vitamin D concentrations
from reaching excessive levels that are considered toxic1-5.

of this product is provided within the Material Safety Data Sheet
for this product. To obtain an MSDS, please contact our customer
service department at 858-455-4768 or email [email protected].
Extraction solution (EX)
This reagent is ready to use. It is stable when stored at room temperature until the expiration date on the label. EX buffer contains
an organic solvent, Acetonitrile, and should be handled per MSDS
instructions. Keep bottle tightly closed after use.
Reagents 1, 2, and 3
Reagents are supplied as lyophilized powders, and need to be reconstituted with the provided reconstitution buffers before use.
The lyophilized reagents and their reconstitution buffers are stable
when stored at 2-8°C until the expiration date on the label. The
reconstituted reagents are stable for 11 days at 2-8°C.
Reconstitute R1a, R2a and R3a with the entire contents of the
provided R1, R2 and R3 buffer, respectively. Invert 4-5 times and
incubate at room temperature for 30 minutes. Use immediately or
store in a tightly closed bottle at 2-8°C. Allow cold reagents (28°C) to equilibrate to room temperature before use.
Assay Procedure
Reconstitute and prepare reagents as described in the “Preparation
and Storage” section.
1. Pipette 90 µL of samples, calibrators and controls into the
wells of the provided microtube strips (use the provided microtube
rack).
2. Using a multi-channel pipette, carefully add 180 µL of Extraction solution (EX) to each well containing samples. Make sure
that reagent EX is fully equilibrated to room temperature before
use.
STOP reagent
This reagent is ready to use and should be stored at room temperature upon receipt of the kit. It is stable until the expiration date.
Specimen Collection and Handling
Serum, heparinized plasma or EDTA plasma samples can be used
for the assay. For serum, collect whole blood by venipuncture and
allow clotting. For plasma, mix the sample by gentle inversion
prior to centrifugation. Centrifuge and separate serum or plasma as
soon as possible after collection.
The specimens may be refrigerated at 2-8°C for two weeks. For
long term storage, they can be stored at -20°C. Avoid repeated
freeze-thaw cycles.
Allow the refrigerated or frozen-thawed samples to equilibrate to
room temperature for 30 minutes before use; samples must be
mixed well before analysis.
Precautions
1. DO NOT INGEST. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
3. Cap each microtube tightly and vortex each strip for 30
seconds. Hold the strip with both hands to make sure that all 8
microtube of the strip are uniformly mixed. Let stand for 10 minutes at room temperature to ensure clear top phase separation.
2. EX buffer contains an organic solvent, Acetonitrile, and should
be handled per MSDS instructions.
3. Reagents contain sodium azide, which may react with lead or
copper plumbing to form explosive compounds. Flush drains with
copious amounts of water when disposing of reagents.
4. Specimens containing human sourced materials should be handled as if potentially infectious, using safe laboratory procedures
such as those outlined in Biosafety in Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories, 5th Ed (HHS Publication Number [CDC] 211112).

Calibration
Six calibration levels are needed for each run. Calibrators and
controls should be treated exactly the same as patient samples. We
recommend fitting the calibration data to the 4-parameter model. A
typical calibration curve is shown below.
Performance Characteristics
Sensitivity
The analytical sensitivity of the assay was found to be 4.2 ng/mL.
Accuracy
The performance of this assay was compared to the performance
of a legally marketed 25-OH Vitamin D enzyme immunoassay.
Using 76 serum samples (with 25-OH Vitamin D concentrations
ranging from 7.4 ng/mL to 90.3 ng/mL), the correlation coefficient
between the two methods was 0.92, the slope was 1.097 and the y
intercept was - 3.89 ng/mL.
Precision
Using seven precision levels covering the dynamic range of the
assay, intra-assay precisions were under 6.5% and total precisions
were under 9.7%.
(OD)
Linearity
The assay was found to be linear between 4.2 and 120.2 ng/mL.
Interference
The assay’s results were not significantly affected by the presence
of bilirubin (up to 40 mg/dL), hemoglobin (up to 250 mg/dL),
ascorbic acid (up to 10 mM) and triglycerides (up to 500 mg/dL).
