Test Overview & Methodology
The Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) test precisely measures riboflavin levels in blood plasma using advanced LC-MS/MS technology. Riboflavin is essential for energy production, red blood cell formation, and nervous system health. This test helps diagnose hidden deficiencies, monitor dietary intake, and guide supplementation under clinical supervision.

| Diagnostic Sensitivity | 99.9% | 85–92% |
| Specimen Requirement | Plasma (EDTA), light-protected, frozen | Plasma, light-sensitive, often delayed processing |
| Turnaround Time | 2–3 weeks from sample receipt (batch testing) | 3–4 weeks |
| UAE Price | 1800 AED | 1400–1600 AED (est.) |
| Regulatory Status | DHA/MOHAP licensed, ISO 9001:2015 | Variable |
Pre-test Patient Instructions
- Overnight fasting (10–12 hours) is mandatory. Only plain water is allowed.
- Avoid any vitamin supplements, especially B-complex, for at least 24 hours before collection.
- Specimen: 2 mL plasma from a lavender-top (EDTA) tube. The sample must be wrapped in aluminium foil immediately after draw to protect from light.
- Plasma must be separated from cells within 3 hours, transferred to a light-protected plastic transport vial, frozen, and shipped frozen. Do not thaw.
- A duly filled Test Send Out Consent Form (Form 35) is mandatory.

Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“A symptomatic riboflavin deficiency can be subtle – cracks at the corners of the mouth, a sore throat, or unexplained fatigue.
Our LC-MS/MS assay gives you absolute certainty so we can correct the imbalance safely.
I always stress that a test result is only one piece of the puzzle; together we will build a full clinical picture.”
— Dr. Ajay Singh, General Practitioner | DHA Registration ID: 36234132
Medication Advisory
Medication Warning:
Do not discontinue any prescribed medication without consulting your doctor. Riboflavin supplements may interact with certain antipsychotics or antibiotics.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Exclusion: Known hypersensitivity to riboflavin or any component of the collection kit; inability to provide informed consent (minors require guardian consent per Federal Decree-Law No. 4 of 2016 on Medical Liability).
- Exclusion: Recent (less than 24 h) intake of vitamin B2 supplements or high-dose multivitamins.
- Red Flag: If you experience sudden muscle weakness, vision changes, hearing loss, or difficulty breathing, call 998 immediately – these may indicate a rare neurological emergency unrelated to routine deficiency.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the Vitamin B2 Riboflavin test used for?
Our LC-MS/MS test safely and precisely quantifies plasma riboflavin to diagnose deficiency and guide supplementation. It is indicated when clinical signs such as angular stomatitis, glossitis, seborrheic dermatitis, or persistent fatigue are present. The test also monitors treatment response in patients on riboflavin therapy.
2. Why do I need to fast and protect the sample from light?
Fasting avoids dietary riboflavin fluctuation, while foil wrapping stops photodegradation, both crucial for LC-MS/MS accuracy. Even brief light exposure can destroy riboflavin, leading to falsely low results. Our cold-chain logistics ensure your sample remains light-protected from collection to laboratory analysis.
3. How do I interpret low riboflavin results and what are next steps?
Low riboflavin results suggest deficiency; a DHA-licensed doctor must interpret with symptoms and dietary history. Your physician will decide if supplementation is needed and, if so, the appropriate dose. Never self-supplement beyond recommended limits without professional guidance, as excess is excreted but may mask other B-vitamin imbalances.
