Determination of Sugars in Functional Drinks Using a Compact IC System

This application note demonstrates a high-performance anion-exchange with pulsed amperometric detection (HPAE-PAD) method to accurately determine sugar concentrations. In this proof note, the method is performed using a Thermo Scientific™ Dionex™ Integrion™ HPIC™ system, which allows fast determination of sugars in functional drinks, such as sports and energy drinks, with no eluent preparation or sample derivatization.
