Analyse the Ingredients of Dietary Supplements: Anton Paar’s MCP 4100/5100/5500
Jul 12 2023
Regulatory challenges
As a manufacturer of dietary supplements, you know you have to ensure the supplements don’t contain contaminants or impurities after production, something many dietary supplement companies struggle with.
Since dietary supplements are regulated by the FDA as a subcategory of foods, they’re also affected by the FDA’s 21 CFR Part 111. To fulfill the requirements of this regulation, the FDA recommends you use validated methods approved by official bodies from around the world (e.g., AOAC International and US Pharmacopoeia). One of these methods is optical rotation measurement.
How Anton Paar can help
Since Anton Paar’s 4100/5100/5500 polarimeter series measure optical rotation, these instruments are the perfect match for this requirement. With their advanced technology and precision, these instruments enable you to analyze optical and specific rotation of optically active substances in a range of ingredients, including various vitamins and amino acids.
And since you’re measuring the angle of rotation, you can thus determine the concentration and specific rotation of these ingredients.
The benefits of validated methods
Using validated methods like polarimetry to test substances using pharmacopoeia monographs is an easy solution that can be adopted by most manufacturers. Doing so lets you comply with GMP and ensure the ingredients in your supply chain are safe.
By adopting this approach, you can be sure your dietary supplement production or process company is only delivering high-quality products to your customers.
