Vitamin B5 HPLC Assay Kit, 50T/48S

Vitamin B5, also known as pantothenic acid, is a water-soluble B-vitamin that plays a critical role in multiple biological processes essential for life. As a key component of coenzyme A (CoA) and phosphopantetheine, it is deeply involved in fatty acid metabolism, including the oxidation of fatty acids and carbohydrates to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP)—the primary energy source for cells. Additionally, Vitamin B5 contributes to the synthesis of vital molecules such as amino acids, ketones, cholesterol, phospholipids, and steroids, and supports porphyrin and hemoglobin biochemistry as well as normal adrenal function.
Given its widespread presence in foods and its significance in biological systems, accurate detection of Vitamin B5 is crucial for research applications—such as studying nutrient metabolism in biological samples, evaluating Vitamin B5 content in experimental formulations, or investigating the role of Vitamin B5 in cellular processes. Traditional detection methods for Vitamin B5 include microbiological assays, but high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) has emerged as a reliable choice for research use due to its ability to deliver precise and consistent quantitative results.
The Vitamin B5 HPLC Assay Kit is specifically designed to meet the needs of researchers seeking a robust tool for Vitamin B5 quantification. It leverages the HPLC technique, which separates and detects Vitamin B5 in samples with high specificity, making it suitable for analyzing various research samples (e.g., experimental food matrices, biological extracts used in research) where accurate Vitamin B5 measurement is required.
