The Vitamin Premix Clinic or VPC has hosted over 900 customers from the U.S., Canada, Mexico and Europe since its inception in 1987.

The VPC is a combination of seminars, discussions and on-site lab demonstrations of issues and situations that can affect premix quality. The VPC is designed for all personnel who wish to learn more about ingredients and premixes.

It has been attended by nutritionists, purchasing agents, and representatives from sales, marketing, production, quality assurance and general management.

The VPC offers a unique environment to examine vitamins and premixes. It promotes active participation in the laboratory where attendees perform a series of "hands on" demonstrations and exercises.

The lab is equipped with microscopes, scales, video-enhanced computers, particle segregation devices and a variety of vitamin samples from around the world. Concepts that are discussed include premix homogeneity and ingredient separation, vitamin stability and production issues that can affect stability, and the importance of developing good sampling techniques.
