Vitamins

The Eclipse Scientific Group offers a comprehensive vitamin analysis service and has established a reputation as the leading vitamin analysis laboratory in the UK. Not only does this service encompass all of the major vitamins, but also virtually all of the procedures employed are UKAS accredited.

In most cases analysis is carried out using High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). Otherwise, microbiological assay techniques are employed, with high specification robotic dilutors in place to facilitate fast and accurate analysis of samples.

We are able to perform vitamin analysis routinely within ten days of sample receipt and, with prior arrangement, this can be reduced to 5 days.
