Analysis of a Sports Beverage for Electrolytes and Sugars Using Multi-Mode Chromatography with Charged Aerosol Detection

The analysis of sports beverages provides an interesting analytical challenge in that the carbohydrates, anions, and cations are all functional ingredients that require determination. This application note describes the analysis of a sports beverage for electrolytes and sugars using the Thermo Scientific™ Acclaim™ Trinity™ P2 column and Thermo Scientific™ Dionex™ Corona™ Veo™ charged aerosol detector (CAD).
