ISO 75308 Tocopherol Residue Profiling in Pet Supplements
The ISO 75308 standard provides a comprehensive protocol for the determination and quantification of tocopherol residues in pet supplements. This service is particularly crucial for ensuring compliance with international regulations aimed at safeguarding animal health and welfare. Tocopherols, including α-tocopherol, γ-tocopherol, δ-tocopherol, and ε-tocopherol, are essential antioxidants that play a vital role in preventing oxidative stress in pets. Misuse or overuse can lead to potential health risks for animals.
Our laboratory adheres strictly to the ISO 75308 protocol, which involves several critical steps: sample preparation, extraction, chromatographic separation, and detection. The process begins with the precise collection of pet supplements, ensuring that all samples are representative of the batch being tested. Subsequent steps include thorough extraction methods designed to recover tocopherols efficiently without compromising their integrity.
The chromatographic system employed for this service is a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) instrument equipped with a diode-array detector and an atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) source. This combination ensures not only the separation of different tocopherol forms but also the ability to monitor their specific UV/Vis absorption spectra, which aids in accurate identification.
The standard specifies rigorous acceptance criteria for quantitation limits, linearity ranges, and precision requirements. Our laboratory guarantees results that meet or exceed these thresholds, providing reliable data on tocopherol profiles present in each supplement batch. This level of accuracy is paramount for manufacturers aiming to comply with regulatory standards set by organizations such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA).
By leveraging advanced analytical techniques like HPLC, we ensure that our clients receive detailed reports highlighting the presence, concentration, and distribution of tocopherols within their products. These insights are invaluable for R&D teams looking to optimize formulations or troubleshoot issues related to antioxidant efficacy.
