Abstract:
5-Methyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrofolic (5-methylTHF) acid can be measured in human serum and whole blood by fluorescence after deproteinization with perchloric acid and separation by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The technique is sensitive, rapid, and correlates with existing methods for total folates.
