 7.4.2 Riboflavin, pyridoxal 5’ phosphate, and resveratrol are light sensitive. Use
 
 low-actinic (red) glassware to minimize light exposure. 
 
 7.4.3. The standard is prepared by weighing no less than the minimum weight of the
 
 analytical balance, transfer to an appropriately sized volumetric flask and bring
 up to two thirds the final volume using Diluent, shake until completely dissolved,
 
 and bring up to final volume. 
 
 7.4.4 Dilutions are prepared using Diluent. Dilutions can be made using volumetric
 flasks or using 10mL, ImL, and 200uL variable pipettes. Specific standard
 
 concentrations will approximate the concentration expected to be found in the
 
 product being tested based on the sample dilution and calculated from the label.
 Dilutions can be prepared in HPLC vials. 
 
 7.5 Sample Preparation 
 
 7.5.1 Specific sample testing details are provided in each products profile. If a specific
 
 testing details section is not available, then follow preparation procedure as
 described below, maintaining concentration within the linear range of this
 
 method. 
 
 7.5.2 The concentration of the final sample preparation must be within the linear range
 
 listed above. 
 
 7.5.3. Riboflavin, pyridoxal 5’ phosphate, and resveratrol are light sensitive. Use
 low-actinic (red) glassware to minimize light exposure. 
 
 7.5.4 Samples can be dissolved in Diluent at any volume starting from 50 mL and any
 
 weight greater than the minimum weight of the analytical balance.
 
 7.5.5 The sample is suspended in two third of the final volume and put in the wrist
 
 action shaker for 25 minutes. Then bring up to the final volume using Diluent.
 
 7.5.6 Before injection, insoluble matter should be removed via filtration using a nylon
 syringe filter. Discard at least the first 0.5 mL of filtrate before collecting a portion

 for analysis. Dilute filtrate as needed then add l1mL of the final dilution to an
 
 HPLC vial for analysis. 
 
 7.5.6.1 Alternatively, samples and standards can also be centrifuged at 10,000
 
 RPM for 5 minutes in an Eppendorf centrifuge to pellet insoluble matter.
