Annex A
Inspection Method
A.1 General requirements
Unless otherwise specified in this standard, the purity of the adopted reagents shall be analytically pure; the adopted standard volumetric solutions, standard solutions for impurity determination, preparations and products shall be prepared according to the requirements of GB/T 601, GB/T 602 and GB/T 603; the test water shall be Class-III water specified in GB/T 6682. Solutions adopted for test shall be water solution, unless otherwise indicated.
A.2 Determination of percentage of lactoferrin in total protein
A.2.1 Method summary
Adopt high performance liquid chromatography, determine the lactoferrin through separating the chromatographic column with ultraviolet detector at 280nm position under selected operating conditions, and determine the quantity with area normalization method.
