Empower Tips: Ask Me Anything About Streamlining Efficiencies in Your Routine Analysis – Food and Dietary Supplement Applications

Regardless of your sample, it is critical to simplify your routine analysis work and infuse as much automation as possible into your workflow so you can increase confidence in your results and reduce the time it takes to make decisions. Empower Software offers you the flexibility to optimize operations in your lab.

To ensure that your method is performing as expected, routine food analysis calls for calibration/quantitation along with system suitability and/or control samples. These applications call for some commonly made calculations such as:

• Percent Difference compared to a Target Amount
• Average Amount in Duplicate Samples
• Percent Deviation for Standards

Determining authenticity of botanical ingredients used in dietary supplements can be challenging. This routine test is simplified by automating evaluation of the following:

• Chromatographic Pattern
• Mass Spectral Pattern
• Spectral Library Match

To further streamline, using tailored reports in Empower Software makes interpretation of results easy and decision-making faster with simple pass/fail, so you know whether you can ship a batch.
