At ZP we understand the versatility of our analysis platform, including analysing complex samples such as cough sweets/drops.
In this study we needed to measure the active materials in the cough sweets/drops and show a difference between three flavours/versions of the product.
For ZP this was a reasonably straight forward effort as we were able to leverage the ZP Accelerator Technology.

SAMPLE PREPARATION
The work flow for the analysis was simple as the sweet/drop was dissolved in water and then a drop was analysed via the ZP Accelerator.

RESULTS
The great thing about the ZP electrochemical sensor platform is that we are able to analyse complex samples including cough sweets/drops using our ZP Accelerator, the raw signal was clear that we could see the difference in the sweets through the detection of the active materials.
