Determination of Active Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin) in Dietary Supplements and Ingredients by Reverse-phase Liquid Chromatography: Single-laboratory Validation

This study seeks to develop and validate a method for identifying and quantifying four bioactive forms of vitamin B12 (adenosylcobalamin, cyanocobalamin, hydroxocobalamin, and methylcobalamin) from dietary ingredients and supplements, as a consensus quality control protocol for dietary supplement labeling and manufacturing.

Pathogen Detection by Loop-Mediated Amplification - Brown, et al

Pathogen detection in foods and environmental samples is a critical element in a food management system. This study set out to compare the robustness of Loop Mediated Amplification (LAMP) with that of PCR as illustrated by the detection threshold of Listeria and Salmonella spiked into culture broths previously incubated with various spices.
