An Alternative to the USP Method for the Analysis of Riboflavin (Vitamin B2) and Impurities

18 Jan 2016

The method reported here provides a viable alternative to the cumbersome USP and EP methods for the analysis of Rioboflavin (Vitamin B2). The combination of the Titan™ C18 column and rapid acetonitrile gradient provided excellent resolution and short analysis time under conditions compatible with both MS and UV detection.

Titan™ C18 UHPLC Columns, 1.9 μm

Sigma-Aldrich Supelco

Titan UHPLC columns, based on 1.9 µm totally porous monodisperse silica, outperform other UHPLC columns. These UHPLC columns provide the performance scientists expect (typically > 250,000 N/m), but at a greatly reduced cost. With the narrowest particle size distribution of all available sub-2 µm porous particles, Titan columns are the outcome of the highly efficient patent pending Ecoporous™ silica manufacturing process that delivers high-performance silica at a low cost. Read about how this product was used to analyze Riboflavin and impurities here and used in purification methods here. Features & Benefits: • Excellent Performance • Extremely Narrow Particle Size Distribution • Great Value

Mass SpectrometryMass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful analytical technique used to identify and quantify molecules based on the mass-to-charge ratio of gas-phase ions. It provides detailed information about the structure, composition, and properties of compounds and is widely used across fields such as environmental monitoring, materials science, drug discovery and development, food and beverage testing, and wider chemical research. Key MS techniques include tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LS-MS) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS). Choosing from these wide range of techniques and technologies can be a daunting task, so keep up to date with scientific applications, performance expectations, and customer reviews here all in one place. Visit our product directory to receive quotes direct from the manufacturer. UV-Visible SpectroscopyUltraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometers are used to measure the interaction of UV and visible light with a sample, including transmission, reflectance & absorbance. The two major instrument classes are single-beam or double-beam spectrophotometers. More specialized equipment includes colorimeters, spectroradiometers and refractometers. Portable and microvolume spectrophotometers are also available. For the modular spectroscopy lab, explore a range of light sources for combination with a spectrograph/spectrometer and optics. Find the best UV-Vis spectroscopy products in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Clinical ChemistryBiochemistry (or clinical chemistry) involves the analysis of bodily fluids using chemical tests. Techniques used include HPLC, chromatography, spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, immunochemical, electrophoresis, turbidometric / spectrophotometric assay, MRI and ISE analysis. Tests are often carried out on plasma or serum but urine (urinalysis) and fecal specimens are also processed.B VitaminsTrace Level ImpuritiesTrace level impurities refer to low concentrations of unwanted substances found in chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and other products. Detecting and removing these impurities is crucial for product safety and regulatory compliance. Explore trace impurity analysis tools in our peer-reviewed product directory; compare products, check reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.UVUltraviolet (UV) light is used in a variety of applications, including disinfection, spectrophotometry, and molecular biology. UV light can damage DNA, making it a powerful tool in sterilization and in studies of mutagenesis and gene repair.
