Infant Formula Mineral Content Testing
In infant formula mineral content testing, our laboratory ensures that infants receive nutrients essential for their growth and development. This service is particularly important as it involves precise measurement of minerals such as calcium, iron, zinc, copper, magnesium, and others critical to infant health.
The process begins with the collection of raw materials used in formula production, followed by thorough preparation steps that include dissolution, filtration, and purification. Our team then employs advanced instrumentation like Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) and Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS) to measure trace elements accurately.
Once the analysis is complete, results are reported in compliance with international standards such as ISO 15692 and ASTM E1378. These reports not only provide detailed quantitative data but also highlight any deviations from established nutritional guidelines set by organizations like the World Health Organization (WHO).
Our commitment to accuracy extends beyond just measuring minerals; we ensure that all tests are conducted under controlled conditions to minimize variability. This includes temperature-controlled environments, standardized reagents, and experienced personnel who understand the nuances of infant formula composition.
The importance of this service cannot be overstated. Missteps in mineral content could lead to deficiencies or overdoses which might have severe health implications for infants. By offering reliable, accurate testing services, we help manufacturers maintain high-quality standards while ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements worldwide.
