Lipid Saver™ cards: optimized stability of retinol, α-tocopherol and CoQ10 for a non-invasive, self-collected method for monitoring antioxidant micronutrients
Antioxidants like retinol (Vitamin A), α-tocopherol (Vitamin E), and coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) play a crucial role in preventing and treating diseases linked to oxidative stress. Traditionally, these compounds are measured in serum or plasma, requiring professional collection and extensive sample preparation. Lipid Saver™ cards significantly improve the stability and reliability of lipophilic antioxidant measurements, including tocopherol and coenzyme Q10, making them highly valuable for clinical and nutritional research, longitudinal studies, and large-scale screening programs.
