HPLC-UV Analysis of Vitamin C from Tablets and Soft-Gels

The verification of label claim data in nutraceutical formulations has come under scrutiny by the FDA. Manufacturers and contract testing labs alike are looking for accurate and scientifically valid methods that are suitable for use with different formulations. There were two primary goals of this project: firstly, to determine an accurate and reproducible means of analyzing Vitamin C and secondly, to demonstrate the suitability for analysis of two commercially available formulations of Vitamin C.
