BACKGROUND: In 2006 the Food Safety Authority of Ireland recommended mandatory folic acid fortification of flour for the prevention of neural tube defects in addition to the existing extensive voluntary folic acid fortification culture in place there. This recommendation is now suspended until further scientific evidence surrounding safety becomes available. The safety issues include concerns about the masking of vitamin B-12 deficiency and potential cancer acceleration, both of which may...

The Rocket™ Evaporator is a revolutionary solvent evaporator for use in laboratories seeking to spend minimal time and effort to process multiple samples for analysis. Concentration and evaporation is an important step in achieving accurate analytical results with sample extracts.The Rocket Evaporator automates this process, allowing the analyst to spend more time on other projects. The Rocket Evaporator can be used either to dry samples completely, or to concentrate them to a small...

This webinar highlights the use of high-performance anion-exchange chromatography with Pulsed Amperometric Detection (HPAE-PAD) for the analysis of carbohydrates including mono-, di- and oligo- saccharides. The experts also discuss how this approach is used to characterize large polysaccharies, such as maltodextrin. Focusing on pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical, and food & beverage matrices, this webinar is of value to anyone looking for a fast, easy and economical way to detect multiple...
