A Novel HPLC Method for the Concurrent Analysis and Quantitation of Seven Water-Soluble Vitamins in Biological Fluids (Plasma and Urine): A Validation Study and Application

Table 1

Column temperatures study. Experimental results (peak area mean ± RSD) obtained from six separate runs of a standard sample (aqueous mixture of 8 water-soluble vitamins) at 4 different column temperatures. The last row of the table reports run time in minutes. HPLC conditions used were those reported in the main text.
