Analysis of the Vitamin B Complex in Infant Formula Samples by LC-MS/MS
نویسندگان
چکیده
A rapid, robust, sensitive and specific LC-MS/MS assay using the AB SCIEX QTRAP 6500 system has been developed for the simultaneous detection of all major forms of vitamin B complex. The method detects all currently used forms of vitamin B6 and vitamin B3 in infant formula and includes vitamin B12. The sample preparation allows the same extract to be used for Vitamin C detection and the LC-MS/MS conditions have been tuned so that the response for each vitamin is linear over the various required detection ranges.

Application of ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry for the measurement of vitamin D in infant formula and adult/pediatric nutritional formula: First Action 2011.11.
In an effort to measure vitamin D, ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) was applied to samples. The use of UHPLC-MS/MS decreased the run time by 50%. The UHPLC-MS/MS achieved equal or better separation efficiency with complex food matrixes compared to HPLC-MS/MS. It was also observed that under the optimized conditions of UHPLC, all previtamin...
