Newly improved reference material targets infant formula analysis

Chemists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology have issued a new certified reference material -a standardized sample backed by NIST -for determining the concentrations of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients in infant and adult nutritional formula and similar products. The new Standard Reference Material (SRM 1849) for Infant/Adult Nutritional Formula, represents a significant improvement over the now discontinued SRM 1846, Infant Formula, which had been offered since 1996.
