Background on Vitamins
Vitamins are a class of organic substances necessary to maintain human life activities, and they are also important active substances to maintain human health. The content of vitamins in the body is small, but indispensable, and they are often supplied by food. The human body needs a total of 13 vitamins: vitamin A, vitamin B, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E, vitamin K, vitamin H, vitamin P, vitamin PP, vitamin M, vitamin T, vitamin U, and water-soluble vitamins. Human health will be threatened when vitamins are lacking. Scurvy, beriberi, rickets, pellagra and dry eye are all specific vitamin deficiencies.
Vitamins Test Kits
Vitamins test kits are common tools for detecting the content of vitamins in food, as well as important means to ensure food safety. Vitamins test kits can be divided into the following categories:
- Detection of fat-soluble vitamins (vitamins A, vitamins D, vitamins E, vitamins K) in food.
- Detection of water-soluble vitamins (vitamins B, vitamins C) in food.
- Detection of "vitamins" (vitamin PP, folic acid, etc.) in food.
Advantages of Our Vitamins Test Kits
- A variety of vitamins detection technologies (UV-Vis spectrophotometry, fluorescence spectrophotometry, ELISA, ultra high performance liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry, methods based on capillary electrophoresis; high performance liquid chromatography) were adopted to develop test kits.
- It can operate multiple kits to measure multiple components at the same time, short measuring period and high measuring sensitivity.
- Food vitamins test kits include 7+ categories of food (vegetables, fruits, nuts, lean meat, dairy, eggs and plant oil) and 6+ categories of vitamins (vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E, vitamin B and niacin).
- The kits contents are safe and equipped with detailed product instructions, which is simple, fast and convenient to operate.
