ISO 6869 Magnesium Quantification in Pet Diets
The quantification of magnesium in pet diets is crucial for ensuring that the nutritional requirements are met as per international standards, specifically ISO 6869. This service offers comprehensive testing to help manufacturers and quality managers ensure their products meet stringent dietary guidelines.
ISO 6869 is a standard that provides detailed procedures for determining trace elements in animal feed, including pet food. Magnesium plays an essential role in various physiological processes within pets, such as muscle function, bone health, and neurological activity. Ensuring the correct amount of magnesium in pet diets helps prevent deficiencies or toxicity.
Our laboratory employs advanced analytical techniques to quantify magnesium accurately. These methods include inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICPOES) and atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). Both these instruments offer high precision, sensitivity, and reproducibility. The process involves meticulous sample preparation, digestion using strong acids like nitric acid, followed by instrumental analysis.
The importance of this service extends beyond just ensuring compliance with international standards; it also supports the development of innovative pet food products. By accurately quantifying magnesium, manufacturers can tailor their formulations to meet specific dietary needs for different life stages or breeds of pets.
Our team works closely with clients during the testing process, providing detailed reports that include raw data and interpretations. This collaborative approach ensures that any discrepancies are addressed promptly, leading to more reliable product development cycles.
