Applied Standards
| Standard | Description |
|---|---|
| ISO 22964:2017 | Method for the determination of biotin in food and feed products by high-performance liquid chromatography with post-column derivatization |
The ISO 22964 standard is widely recognized for its accuracy and reliability. This method uses HPLC coupled with post-column derivatization to achieve precise quantification of biotin in food and feed products.
Our laboratory adheres strictly to this standard, ensuring that all tests are conducted under controlled conditions to minimize variability and maximize reproducibility.
Scope and Methodology
The ISO 22964 method is applicable to the analysis of biotin in various food and feed products, including:
- Dietary supplements
- Fortified foods
- Infant formulas
- Pet food
The methodology involves several key steps:
- Sample preparation: This step includes homogenization, extraction, and concentration of biotin.
- Biotin extraction: The extracted biotin undergoes further processing to enhance its detection sensitivity.
- HPLC analysis: Chromatographic separation is performed using a suitable column packed with stationary phases optimized for biotin.
- Post-column derivatization: This step converts the biotin into a more readily detectable form, enhancing the accuracy of quantification.
- Data interpretation: The resulting chromatogram provides detailed information on biotin concentration and distribution.
The service also includes:
- Validation of analytical methods to ensure precision and accuracy
