Ion chromatography for qc of infant formula and baby food
Various local and global regulations and guidelines exist for quality control of baby food and infant formula. To comply with them, they refer to a range of analytical methods with different levels of complexity, sensitivity, and price.
Ion chromatography (IC) offers many advantages for quality control of infant formula and baby food:
- IC is easy to use and safe
- IC is a compact and direct technique, with low instrument and operating costs
- IC is fast and quantifies multiple components in a single run
