“…As some studies suggest, the enzyme biotinidase, which is involved in the in vivo recycling of the vitamin, serves as a carrier protein for the transport of biotin into the cell as well as a biotin-binding protein in serum. 5 Several analytical methods have been developed for the determination in different sample matrices, e.g., UV-visible spectrophotometry, 6 spectrofluorimetry, 7 electrometry 8-10 high performance liquid hromatography (HPLC), [11][12][13][14][15][16] liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), 17,18 capillary zone electrophoresis, 19,20 enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). 21 In this study, a highly sensitive spectrofluorimetric method was developed to assay biotin in pharmaceutical preparations.…”
