Event Overview:

In recent years, product recalls and other scandals involving milk or infant formula in China, the US, and across the globe dramatically illustrate the economic and personal impact of food contamination and adulteration. With ever present demand worldwide for milk products that are free of adulterants, there has been a continued focus on regulation and the development of methods for testing milk and infant formula products. To support these activities, certified reference materials of the most commonly tested milk proteins and vitamins were developed for calibration and development of liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS)–based methods in infant formula testing. In this webinar, the product design, workflow and certification methods for milk protein or vitamin Certified Reference Materials (CRMs) will be presented, along with a discussion of the quality attributes of their certificates of analysis and analytical & stability challenges in their development.


Key Learning Objectives:

• Understand the product design, workflow and reference material certification process for a milk protein Certified Reference Material (CRM)
• Recognize the important quality attributes of a certificate of analysis for a milk protein CRM
• Appreciate the analytical and stability challenges for development of solution-based vitamin CRMs

Who Should Attend:

• Food & Beverage testing laboratories and their quality assurance or quality control stakeholders, including laboratory analysts, managers, directors, method developers, or analytical R&D teams
