This certification assures VitaFast® users that these test kits meet stringent AOAC standards for excellent performance in determination of vitamin contents in food samples and pharmaceutical products.

VitaFast® are ready-to-use test kits in microtiter plate format for the microbiological, quantitative analysis of all water-soluble vitamins and a selection of aminoacids.

VitaFast® vitamin tests for vitamin B2 (Riboflavin), Folic acid and pantothenic acid met the AOAC-RI’s standards and reached the Performance Tested Method Status for their reliable and unambiguous results.

The AOAC-RI (Association of Official Analytical Communities – Research Institute) is internationally recognized for its rigorous testing standards. A certification granted hence confirms the high quality of the products tested.

Testing comprised a broad range of foods, e.g. liquid samples, sweets, cereal products, infant food products and meat. The tests are also suitable for the detection of the respective vitamins in animal feed and pharmaceutical products.
