Resolution Solution for Vitamin D3

Discussions about HPLC, CE, TLC, SFC, and other "liquid phase" separation techniques.

Hello Friends,
Does anyone know why the USP calls for the resolution solution (pre-vitamin D3) to be made? I thought it was to ensure the HPLC would detect the thermal degradation of D3. We put both the working standard and the test samples in a waterbath at 60 deg C for 1hour. If both the pre-vitamin D3 and D3 can be utilized by the body and convert into the active 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol, then would this be reported as total Vitamin D3?

I was able to see the pre-vitamin D3 separation from the D3 using the USP method 1 for Vitamin D3 in oil capsules. I am working on creating a UPLC/MS method for D3. I have my D3 peak coming out at 2.5 minutes. Waters has a method for creating derivatives in order to quantitate the pre-vitamin D3 and D3. Various other labs that I checked with are unable to separate these isomers. Any feedback would be great.
Does anyone know why the USP calls for many of the things they do ?
