analytica Application Award 2016 for Food Analysis Awarded to Knauer
Jul 12 2016
Laborpraxis magazine awarded Application Awards at analytica for the most exciting application in four categories: laboratory technology, biotechnology & pharmaceutical, water & environment and food analysis.
The Knauer application in the ‘food analysis’ category was assessed by the magazine’s technical editors and a jury of renowned industry experts and found to be the most innovative and profitable. The topic of lactose analysis is highly up-to-date, since the limit of lactose in lactose-free labelled products has been decreased to 10 mg per 100 g product in many European countries over the last years, making an HPLC method with low detection limits inevitable for the quality control of these products.
The method shown in the award-winning application presents an HPLC method that easily reaches the required limits of detection (LOD) by using High-Performance Anion-Exchange Chromatography coupled to Pulsed Amperometric Detection (HPAEC-PAD). Besides lactose, also sucrose and glucose are analysed to prove the method’s ability to differentiate several sugars.
The award was presented by Marc Platthaus, Chief Editor, during a ceremony at analytica 2016 on the evening of 10th May.
