SPIFAN matrices
Applicable to all forms of infant, adult, and/or pediatric
formula (powders, ready-to-feed liquids, and liquid
concentrates).
Any combination of milk, soy, rice, whey, hydrolyzed
protein, starch, and amino acids, with and without intact
protein.
All SPIFAN matrices evaluated met precision and
accuracy requirements for all four vitamins.
Precision = 14 matrixes evaluated
Accuracy = 8 unique matrixes evaluated.
All analytes defined in the
applicability statement are
measured.

Bias against established method
Analytical equipment
Adequate proof of performance via system suitability
Is there a bias Yes/No ?
Analytical equipment is commonly available in most labs.
No unique proprietary equipment/accessories are required.
Method does not require any special safety precautions e.g. personal protection from highly toxic solvents.
Samples are enzymatically digested with a stable isotope labeled internal standard and analyzed by LC-MS/MS.
Limit of quantification (LOQ)
a
Concentrations apply to (1) "ready to feed liquids" "as-is"; (2) reconstituted powders (25 g into 200 g water); and (3) liquid concentrates diluted 1:1 by weight.
