SPIFAN matrices
Applicable to all forms of infant, adult, and/or pediatric formula (powders,
ready-to-feed liquids, and liquid concentrates).
Combination of milk, soy, hydrolyzed protein, FOS/GOS, amino acids, with high
or low fat.
All SPIFAN matrices analyzed for repeatability.
Representative matrices from each category analyzed for
recovery during SLV, except for Infant RTF due to the
defficient sample amount.
All required analytes are
measured.

Determination of biotin in infant, pediatric and adult nutritionals by HPLC and fluorescence detection
This reverse phase HPLC method with post column reduction and fluorescence detection allows for the quantitative determination of biotin in infant, pediatric, and adult nutritionals. Sample of
appropriate size is mixed with 6% meta-phosphoric acid to precipitate out the protein to produce a filtrate. The filtrate is injected onto a C18 HPLC column where biotin and riboflavin are separated
with a mobile phase (20% methanol in 0.02 M phosphate buffer at pH7.0). The biotin after eluting from the column binds with the streptavidin fluorescein to become a fluorescent conjugate. The
conjugate is then detected by fluorescence at an excitation wavelength of 495 nm and an emission wavelength of 518 nm.
