Common Questions

Frequently asked questions

Why would a researcher test a raw vitamin powder by HPLC?

Raw vitamin powders sourced for research applications vary substantially in actual purity depending on manufacturer, grade, and handling history. HPLC analysis provides an instrument-based characterization of the analytical composition — confirming that the primary compound is present and quantifying its proportion relative to detected impurities and degradation products. This is especially relevant for light- and moisture-sensitive vitamins such as Cholecalciferol, Riboflavin, and Cobalamin, where degradation may not be visually apparent.

What does HPLC analysis show for a raw vitamin material?

The analysis quantifies the chromatographic purity of the primary vitamin compound as a percentage of total UV-absorbing material detected. It also identifies any impurity peaks, degradation products, or unrelated compounds present in the sample. For identity confirmation, the retention time of the primary peak is compared to a certified reference standard. The COA reports chromatographic purity as a percentage and lists all peaks observed, along with their relative areas.

Can ANALITIKA test finished formulations like capsules or tablets?

ANALITIKA's standard vitamin testing scope covers raw powder materials. Finished product forms — including capsules, tablets, softgels, or liquid formulations — introduce excipients, binders, and coatings that significantly complicate routine method development. Researchers requiring characterization of a finished matrix form are encouraged to contact ANALITIKA to discuss whether a custom method can be developed for their specific sample type.

Are there handling requirements for vitamin samples before submission?

Yes. Several vitamins are sensitive to degradation by light, oxygen, or moisture. Cholecalciferol, Riboflavin, and Vitamin K2 MK-7 in particular should be stored away from light and in airtight containers until the time of submission. Samples should be shipped in sealed, labeled vials and protected from heat during transit. ANALITIKA analyzes samples as received; pre-submission storage conditions are outside our analytical scope and should be managed by the submitting party.
