How Vanguard tests Calcium succinate

Method for the $250 identity, purity and quantity test: ICP-MS metal content, chromatographic assay of the succinate counter-ion, with detection selected for the compound, against a reference standard, with results in 3 to 5 business days.

The USP monograph covers identity by a calcium test and infrared spectroscopy, assay by complexometric titration with edetate, chloride and sulfate limit tests, elemental impurities, pH and loss on drying. Full testing to the USP Calcium Succinate monograph is available and quoted.

What's reported

  • Metal content by ICP-MS, against the label or specification
  • Purity, as percent of total peak area
  • Quantity, against the label claim
  • Identity, reported as match or no match against the reference standard
  • With monograph testing (quoted): the monograph’s tests against its limits

Questions about Calcium succinate testing

Is the $250 test the same as USP monograph testing?

No. The $250 test covers identity, purity and quantity by ICP-MS for calcium content and a chromatographic method suited to the compound for the succinate part. Full testing to the USP Calcium Succinate monograph is available and quoted.

Can the test confirm that the counter-ion is succinate?

Yes. Succinic acid is measured by chromatography and ICP-MS gives the calcium content, so together they check the salt's makeup.

Why is succinate hard to see by UV detection?

Succinic acid has no aromatic ring and absorbs UV light only weakly at low wavelength, so the lab uses a detection method suited to the compound.
